Zucchini Fritters

Healthy Fact of the Day

Zucchini is an excellent source of vitamin C, which supports a healthy immune system and aids in collagen production for glowing skin.

Ingredients

 

  • 2 medium zucchinis, grated
  • 1 egg, beaten
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • Vegetable oil for frying

 

Instructions

  1. Squeeze out excess moisture from the grated zucchini using a clean kitchen towel or cheesecloth.

  2. In a large bowl, combine the grated zucchini, egg, flour, parmesan cheese, garlic, parsley, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until fully combined.

  3. Heat a large skillet or frying pan over medium heat and add enough vegetable oil to coat the bottom of the pan.

  4. Scoop out a heaping tablespoon of the zucchini mixture and gently drop it into the hot oil. Flatten slightly with a spatula.

  5. Fry the fritters for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and crispy.

  6. Transfer the cooked fritters to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.

  7. Repeat with the remaining batter, adding more oil to the pan as needed.

  8. Serve hot with a dollop of yogurt or sour cream, if desired.

Enjoy these crispy and delicious zucchini fritters as a tasty and nutritious addition to your meal!

Tip of the Day

“Always let your meat rest before slicing.”

Whether you're roasting a chicken, grilling steak, or baking pork tenderloin, letting cooked meat rest for 5–10 minutes before slicing allows the juices to redistribute evenly. This simple step keeps your meat juicy and tender, ensuring every bite is flavorful and moist. Bonus: It gives you a moment to plate your sides or garnish for a perfect presentation!

The Summer Kitchen Without a Recipe: Learning to Cook by Feel

Research on cooking confidence and dietary behavior consistently shows that cooks who feel comfortable improvising in the kitchen — who can produce a meal without following a specific recipe — cook from scratch more frequently, use more whole ingredients, and consume more vegetables than those who cook only when they have a specific recipe to follow. The ability to cook by feel is, in nutritional terms, one of the most significant skills a home cook can develop — because it removes the barrier of recipe dependency and allows the cook to respond to whatever is fresh, seasonal, and available rather than planning around what a recipe specifies.

Using chicken broth as part of the liquid base adds savory depth with a fraction of the sodium of additional cream, keeping this indulgent-tasting dish more balanced than it appears.
