Fantastic! I didn’t have enough zucchini so I added carrots and a half a grated onion. Ridiculously good. Oh, also 1/2 tsp salt instead of 3/4.
Tasty. Made it with less salt. Will be making it again.
Quick, easy, and delicious.
Very yummy. I added a minced Serrano for just a little zing
Instead of Parmesan I used smoked Gouda I also added chives parsley and basil,
Loved it
I followed recipe to the “t”. Fantastic! I will be making this recipe again!
Too much salt. Zucchini, salt, Parmesan/salt, and just a little bit more salt to season?? Goodness, please hold the salt. 🙁
These were awesome!
They turned out great. I did take Tracy’s suggestion and cooked them in the waffle iron for 4 minutes. I have made Zucchini pancakes for years but these are so much easier and delicious!
Yummy! Wished I had a cheesecloth to better drain them but they were great. I sprinkled Parm cheese on top instead of sour cream. I think next time I will try the Air Fryer & possibly my homemade meatless pasta sauce with a slice of provel or provolone cheese to serve as a meal.
I doubled the recipe following directions but added more spices and garlic. I salt to taste as I dont like too much salt so not sure I used what the recipe called for. Made patties thin and they were awesome. Will be on rotation as my squash is producing like crazy. Used yellow lemon squash and yellow scallop squash in the recipe and fresh eggs from my hens. Thanks for the recipe. Everyone loved it.
I skipped the draining part. I learned zucchinis are very watery. Need to get cheese cloth. Anyways, very tasty.
This recipe did not work for me. I cooked the fritters on medium high, for 2 minutes a side, but they ended up being burnt on the outside and not done on the inside.
We have an abundance of zucchini from our garden this year. This is a delicious and healthy way to use it. I had a leftover cooked ear of corn so I threw that in too. After reading the reviews I only added a 14 tsp. of salt for the draining phase and did not add any after that. I didn’t have any cheesecloth handy so I just wrung it out by hand. Served it with a dollop of light sour cream on top. It was outstanding! Thanks for sharing!
Very salty, i would cut back next time. I remove almost liquid with cheese cloth and added some bread crumbs, but mine were too think 3/4″ to cook through. Dont make them over 1/2″ and use 1/2 teaspoon salt.
I added 1/4 cup of sharp cheddar cheese in addition to the parmesan cheese. Took them to a party and it was a hit!
Easy recipe added red pepper flakes to recipe and did not add extra salt. A keeper have plenty of zucchini in garden.
This was an easy recipe. I was pleased that I was able to use up a zucchini and summer squash. Did not salt beforehand but used a tea towel to get rid of the “water.” I used sour cream on mine but husband wanted his plain. Next time I think I’ll add some red pepper flakes.
Enjoyed very much. Had only one medium zucchini so adapted the recipe for smaller amount. Added a dash of onion powder. Served with some sour cream with a little fresh lemon juice and a few drops of Frank’s Hot Sauce. Quite tasty. Yum!
It was great. I added an extra egg because I only had a small egg and then also added some cotija cheese to the Parmesan because I didn’t have enough and it was great! Good way to use zucchini. Will definitely make again.
