Equipment
Ingredients
- 5 cups shredded zucchini use only fresh zucchini for this recipe
- 1 cup shredded cheese (a mix of cheddar and mozzarella works great)
- 3/4 cup breadcrumbs
- 1 large egg (or use 2 small or medium eggs)
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 3/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon pepper
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit (200 degrees Celsius) and line 2 large baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Add all the ingredients to a bowl and mix well with a wooden spoon, spatula, or your hands until well blended. Because different sized eggs contain more or less moisture, feel free to add another small egg or another 1-2 tablespoons of breadcrumbs to achieve the correct texture (until the mixture sticks together, but isn't too sticky or wet).
- Portion out the mixture using an ice cream scoop or your hands so you have about 12 or 14 equally-sized fritters (form them like a hamburger patty).
- Place the fritters on the prepared baking sheets and bake for about 20-25 minutes or until the tops are golden brown and the fritters are cooked through.
- Remove from the baking sheet and serve immediately with a dollop of tzatziki sauce.
