  • Total Time: 25 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 large zucchinis, grated
  • 1 small onion, finely chopped
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/4 cup rice flour or almond flour (gluten-free)
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Olive oil or cooking spray for frying
  • Fresh herbs (optional: parsley or dill)

Instructions

  1. Start by grating the zucchinis using the Fullstar Ultimate Veggie Prep Master. Place the grated zucchini in a clean dish towel, then squeeze out excess moisture.
  2. In a large bowl, combine the grated zucchini, chopped onion, eggs, flour, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Mix thoroughly until a sticky batter forms.
  3. Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and spray with olive oil or add some oil. Drop spoonfuls of the batter into the skillet and cook for about 3-4 minutes per side until golden and crispy.
  4. Alternatively, for extra crispiness, air fry the fritters at 375°F (190°C) using the Ninja Air Fryer Pro Crisp & Roast 4-in-1 for 8-10 minutes, shaking midway.
  5. Serve hot with Greek yogurt, lemon wedges, or your preferred dip. Garnish with fresh herbs if desired.

Notes

  • Ensure the zucchini is well drained to prevent sogginess.
  • To make vegan, substitute eggs with flaxseed meal or commercial egg replacer.
  • Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 days and reheated in a skillet or air fryer for best crispiness.
