Sasha likes sharing simple and delicious recipes that make life easier.

This has been my favorite snack lately. Zucchini are abundant in the garden, and this recipe comes together so easily. Not to mention it tastes great! My three-year-old even loves them. They can be eaten plain or with any kind of dipping sauce you like. Eat them as a snack, for breakfast, or even as a side for lunch or dinner!

Cook Time

Ingredients

• 2 zucchini, or about 3 cups shredded
• 2/3 cups all-purpose flour
• 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
• 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
• 1/4 teaspoon chili powder
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• pinch pepper
• 1/3 cup fresh grated parmesan cheese
• 2 eggs
• 1/4 cup milk
• 2 tablespoons olive oil for frying

This is what the batter looks like once the zucchini is mixed in.

1 / 2

Instructions

1. Line a small bowl with paper towels. Wash and dry the zucchini. Grate the zucchini into the bowl and set it aside. The paper towels will absorb some of the liquid so the batter isn't too runny later on.
2. In a medium or large mixing bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, Italian seasoning, chili powder, salt, pepper, and Parmesan cheese. Create a well in the center.
3. In a small bowl, beat the eggs with the milk. Add to the well in the flour mixture and gradually incorporate all the flour into the egg mixture. You should have a thick batter.
4. Add the zucchini to the batter and mix well.
5. Heat the oil in a heavy skillet over medium heat. Use a measuring tablespoon to add the batter to the pan. Use the side or back of the spoon to gently flatten the batter. Fill the pan with fritters so they aren't touching.
6. Cook on each side for 2–3 minutes or until golden brown. Transfer to a plate lined with paper towels. Continue until all the batter is used up. Serve hot. If needed, keep warm in a low heated oven.

Can there be too many ways to use zucchini in recipes? Thanks for posting this new-to-me option. Pinning to my Ways with Food--the growing season is around the corner!

Sasha Kim (author) on January 19, 2013:

Thank you so much Sgbrown ^_^ I too always have way too many zucchini! Of course I don't mind you sharing this on your blog. It would be helpful if you attached the link where you list your blog in you profile... I'm having a really hard time finding it for some reason. ^_^ Thanks again!

Sheila Brown from Southern Oklahoma on January 19, 2013:

This sounds awesome! I always have so much zucchini in my garden I don't know what to do with it all. It doesn't freeze well, so I end up giving so much of it away. I think we would love these zucchini fritters! Your step by step instructions are great. These are definitely a must try! I would like to share this recipe on my "Around the World with Recipes" blog if that is all right with you! Let me know... Voting up and pinning too! :)

I love zucchini and I know this will be fantastic! Thank you.

Christin Sander from Midwest on September 04, 2012:

Been meaning to get back over here and let you know I tried this recipe - only modified with GF flours and it was very good. A lot healthier than the deep frying in beer batter we have done before. I like the texture of these and they are so simple and the kids gobbled them up too. We used a mix of coc oil and olive oil in the pan - great flavor. Thanks for sharing the recipe :) Voted and shared.

Sasha Kim (author) on September 04, 2012:

Ah hello again Starstream ^_^ yes I love to paint with oils but have focused mainly on people. Which hub exactly? Could you add the url to it here? ^_^ I'm sure I could return the kind gesture for you as well. I'll do so this evening. Thank you!!

Dreamer at heart from Northern California on September 04, 2012:

Mama Kim 8,

Thanks for visiting my hub on painting orchids. Yes any house plant would be great. Do you paint in oils? I added your hub link here to my article about going green.

Sasha Kim (author) on September 04, 2012:

Starstream, Carrots would be a fantastic addition. I know some people like to add potato as well. ^_^ thank you for the comment and I hope you enjoy!

Dreamer at heart from Northern California on September 04, 2012:

I love this idea. Perhaps I could also add shredded carrots. It would be a great evening snack when cool weather arrives.

Sasha Kim (author) on September 04, 2012:

These sound good. Yum!

Vespa Woolf from Peru, South America on August 26, 2012:

I'm going to make these this week! My husband won't even know what he's eating. : ) Peruvians make something very similar, though without the parmesan. They often serve them with ceviche. I hadn't thought to use grated zucchini. It's super practical for all the gardeners out there who have zucchini coming out their ears! I love your fritter page dividers, btw. Voted up and shared.

Sasha Kim (author) on August 26, 2012:
