Delicious Zucchini Fritters Recipe – A Little Different

If you are looking for a simple and quick recipe for a snack or appetizer, zucchini fritters can be the perfect solution. This version adds a special touch with the combination of cheese and aromatic herbs, transforming an ordinary ingredient into a savory dish.

Preparation time: 15 minutes
Cooking time: 10 minutes
Total time: 25 minutes
Number of servings: 4

Necessary ingredients:
- 1 medium zucchini (approximately 400 g)
- 4 large eggs
- 100 g flour
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 bunch of chopped fresh dill
- 2-3 cloves of garlic (or to taste)
- Oil for frying
- 100 g grated cheese

Step by step:

1. Preparing the zucchini:
Start by peeling the zucchini, then grate it on a large grater. This will allow the zucchini to cook evenly and transform into a delicious mixture. After grating, let it drain in a bowl for a few minutes. If desired, you can sprinkle a little salt over the grated zucchini to speed up the draining process.

2. Mixing the ingredients:
In another bowl, beat the 4 eggs well with salt and pepper. Add the drained zucchini, chopped fresh dill, grated garlic (for an intense and aromatic flavor), flour, and grated cheese. Mix all the ingredients well until you get a homogeneous mixture. Make sure the cheese is well distributed to provide a savory taste in every bite.

3. Heating the oil:
In a deep frying pan, add enough oil to cover the bottom. Heat the oil over medium heat. You can check the oil temperature with a small test: put a spoonful of the mixture in the oil; if it starts to sizzle, it is ready for frying.

4. Frying the zucchini:
With a spoon, take some of the zucchini mixture and form small fritters to place in the pan. Make sure not to overcrowd the pan so that each piece fries evenly. Fry each side for 3-4 minutes or until they become golden and crispy.

5. Removing from the pan:
Once fried, remove the zucchini fritters onto a paper towel to absorb excess oil.

Serving:
Zucchini fritters can be served warm or cold. A delicious option is to serve them with a garlic yogurt sauce or a fresh salad. They are perfect as an appetizer for a festive meal or as a healthy snack between meals.

Practical tips:
- You can experiment with various cheeses instead of cheese, such as feta or parmesan, to change the flavor of the dish.
- Replace dill with other aromatic herbs, such as basil or oregano, for a different taste.
- If you want a lighter version, you can bake the zucchini on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper at 180°C for 20 minutes.

By trying this zucchini fritters recipe, you will discover a delicious way to enjoy vegetables, and the dish will surely become a favorite in your kitchen. Enjoy your meal!
