Step 3: Fry the Fritters
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
- Scoop about 2 tablespoons of batter for each fritter and gently flatten it in the pan.
- Cook for 3-4 minutes per side, until golden brown and crispy.
- Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
Step 4: Serve & Enjoy
- Serve warm with Greek yogurt, sour cream, or a squeeze of lemon juice for extra freshness.
- Pair with a crisp side salad or enjoy as a light lunch with a poached egg on top.
Tips for Perfect Zucchini Fritters
✔ Drain the Zucchini Well – The key to crispy fritters is removing excess moisture.
✔ Use High-Quality Dutch Cheese – Gouda or Edam adds rich, nutty depth to the fritters.
✔ Don’t Overcrowd the Pan – Fry in batches for even cooking and crispiness.
✔ Make It Gluten-Free – Swap flour for almond or chickpea flour.
✔ Air-Fryer Friendly – Cook at 375°F (190°C) for 10-12 minutes, flipping halfway.
Why Dutch Cheese?
Dutch cheeses like Gouda and Edam bring a creamy, slightly sweet, and nutty flavor that pairs beautifully with zucchini. Their meltability also helps bind the fritters together, giving them a rich and cheesy texture.
