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!

Baja Blast Just Got a Glass Bottle — And the Recipe Is Different Too

Baja Blast made with real cane sugar is still a soda — but the switch from high-fructose corn syrup to cane sugar is a meaningful ingredient change worth understanding. Cane sugar is processed more naturally than HFCS and has a cleaner flavor profile, though both contribute similar amounts of added sugar per serving. If you’re a fan who wants to try the new version, enjoying one as an occasional treat rather than a daily drink is the smart approach. And if the glass bottle format has you thinking about reducing your everyday soda consumption, sparkling water with a squeeze of lime and a few mint leaves captures some of that citrus refreshment without the added sugar.

The Tomato in Every Form: A Summer Obsession

Lycopene — the carotenoid responsible for the tomato’s red color and one of the most studied dietary antioxidants — is significantly more bioavailable from cooked tomatoes than from raw ones. Cooking breaks down the cell walls that contain lycopene molecules, releasing them into a form the body can absorb more effectively. Cooking with oil further enhances absorption, since lycopene is fat-soluble. Research has associated high lycopene intake with reduced risk of certain cancers, improved cardiovascular markers, and protection against UV-related skin damage. The summer habit of cooking tomatoes in olive oil — in sauces, in braises, in roasted preparations — is, nutritionally, one of the most beneficial cooking habits available in any season.
