Easy Zucchini Fritters (on the griddle)
These fritters grill up in no time and are a fresh addition to your next cookout.
Equipment
- Griddle
- 2 Griddle Spatulas
- BBQ tongs
- Griddle scraper (Optional)
Ingredients
- 2 zucchinis, shredded (approximately 4 cups)
- ⅔ cup unbleached all-purpose flour
- ⅓ cup Italian bread crumbs
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon minced onion
- 1 teaspoon dried Oregano
- ½ teaspoon ground pepper
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ cup grated Parmigiano
- 2 eggs
Instructions
- Line a bowl with paper towels. Set aside.
- Clean the two zucchinis and cut the ends.
- Shred both and place them into the paper towel-lined bowl. Place another paper towel on top and gently press down to allow the paper towels to soak up the water from the zucchinis. Set aside for 10 minutes.
- In a large mixing bowl: mix the flour, bread crumbs, onion powder, minced onion, dried Oregano, ground pepper, and salt. Mix until all ingredients are well blended.
- Add the grated Parmigiano and mix until the flour coats the cheese.
- When the 10-minute drying has passed, add the shredded zucchini to the flour mixture. Gently mix to coat the zucchini with the flour mixture.
- Crack the eggs and mix them into the zucchini fritter dough. It will be a wet dough.
- Preheat the griddle on medium-low heat.
- Once the griddle is at about 375 to 400 degrees F., place the fritters on the flat top. I used a large cookie scoop and scooped the mixture onto the griddle.
- Using the two spatulas, press down on the dough ball to form a fritter patty. Cook for 3 to 4 minutes then flip.
- Cook for an additional 3 to 4 minutes on the second side.
- Take them off the heat.
- Serve and Enjoy!
