Healthy Zucchini Fritters
Pan-fried zucchini fritters combined with feta cheese, onion, egg, whole grain flour, breadcrumbs, and seasonings. They are perfect at brunch or as an appetizer.
Ingredients
- 3 zucchini squash
- 2 eggs beaten
- 1/2 cup feta cheese crumbles I used Mediterranean style
- 1/4 cup fresh basil chopped
- 1/4 cup white onion chopped or whatever onion you have available
- 1/2 tsp cumin
- 1/2 tsp kosher salt
- 1/2 cup white whole wheat flour or all-purpose
- 1/2 cup whole wheat bread crumbs
- 1 tbsp olive oil
Instructions
- Using a cheese grater(large holes) grate the zucchini. Squeeze out all the water you can from the zucchini using cheesecloth or a clean towel. Discard the water
- Add the grated zucchini to a large bowl along with the eggs, cheese, basil, onion, cumin, and salt. Mix together until well incorporated.
- Add the flour and breadcrumbs and mix in thoroughly.
- Add oil to a non-stick skillet and heat over medium-low to medium heat. Drop batter by 1/4 cup onto skillet and press down with a 1 cup measuring cup to flatten. Cook 3-5 minutes and then flip and cook another 3-5 minutes. When cooking them over more medium heat, the time was close to 3 minutes per side whereas when cooking them over medium-low heat it took close to 5 minutes per side. I prefer cooking them over more medium heat to get a crisper outside.
- Transfer fritters to a plate and serve warm.
