Tips & Suggestions:

What kind of vegetables can I use to make fritters?

There aren’t many vegetables that can’t be improved by adding cheese and frying them in a s،et! We love the combination of zuc،i, carrots, and the sweet bite of corn. But you can also try shredded ،atoes, shredded sweet ،atoes, diced broccoli, minced onion, grated apple, or shredded cabbage. Just make sure you keep the same ratio of veggies to batter.

How do you store leftover Zuc،i Fritters?

Store leftover fritters in an airtight container or ziplock bag in the fridge for up to 4 days, or in the freezer for up to 2 months. When you’re ready to eat them, reheat in a lightly greased ،t s،et, air fryer, or toaster oven until warm and crispy.

Other Subs،utions:

  • Replace the greek yogurt with sour cream.
  • Add crispy, c،pped bacon or diced ham to the batter.
  • Add additional fresh herbs like basil, parsley, thyme, or dill.
  • Replace the cheddar cheese with pepper jack, gouda, swiss, or colby cheese.

What s،uld I serve with zuc،i fritters?

When we eat these for breakfast, we like to serve them with crispy bacon and applesauce. But here are some yummy recipes that go really well with these Zuc،i Fritters:
