Baked Zucchini Fritters are a healthy, oven-baked alternative to traditional pan-fried fritters. They’re golden, crispy on the outside, and tender on the inside—made with fresh zucchini, herbs, and cheese for a flavorful, veggie-packed snack or meal.

Ingredients

  • 2 medium zucchinis, grated
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/3 cup all-purpose flour or breadcrumbs
  • 1/3 cup grated Parmesan or shredded cheese
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tbsp chopped green onions or fresh herbs (parsley, dill, or chives)
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 1/2 tsp baking powder (optional)
  • Olive oil spray or cooking spray

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
  2. Grate zucchini and place in a clean kitchen towel. Squeeze out as much liquid as possible.
  3. In a large bowl, combine grated zucchini, eggs, flour or breadcrumbs, cheese, garlic, herbs, salt, pepper, and baking powder if using. Mix until well combined.
  4. If mixture is too wet, add a bit more flour or breadcrumbs.
  5. Scoop out heaping tablespoons of the mixture and shape into patties.
  6. Place on the baking sheet and lightly spray or brush the tops with olive oil.
  7. Bake for 20–25 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden and crispy on both sides.
  8. Remove from oven and let cool slightly before serving.

Notes
