Reviews
I wasn’t sure how much shredded and frozen zucchini equals 1 large zucchini. Out garden produces giant zucchini that I freeze by the cup. 2 cups is not enough zucchini. My husband liked them with 2 cups because they came out more like zucchini pancakes. Good flavor, but I didn’t use enough zucchini! Will definitely make these again with more zucchini.
Good starting point for me. I added 1/2 T parsley, 1/2 C grated pecorino, about 2 t cumin and 2 crushed garlic cloves. I add 1 C flour and 1 C white corn meal. Left out milk and used enough 1/2 and 1/2 for consistency. Made a horseradish anole for dipping. Fried in cash iron skillet with a little olive oil. Kept turning till done.
This is our favorite zucchini recipe! I took this recipe and put it in an 9 x9 pan with onion crunches (fried onions) mixed in and on top and it was the bomb! Saved a lot of time not making patties. Not fried baked. Thanks!
I didnt use milk…but I did add more seasonings like ginger, and garlic, onion powder and oregano and basil. Delish!!
Flat, bland pancakes. I made it as per the recipe. You can’t taste the raw batter, so it would be helpful if the spices had quantities. I couldn’t taste the cheese at all. Using garlic butter on the griddle gave a little flavor. I couldn’t think of a dipping sauce to make them better, so I tried adding pesto and bacon bits on the griddle before pouring the batter. I ate too many as I tasted different variations on them, so they are easy to eat for sure. I would not try this recipe again.
I wish directions said to salt and drain first.
These “fritters” were almost inedible. Two cups of flour? Seriously?? Fritters were heavy and doughy, a far cry from the recipe I usually use which calls for five tablespoons biscuit mix. They never developed a nice, crunchy crust. More oil helped a bit here but they’re still barely edible and I’m not picky. They were also far more bland than the recipe I usually use. I guess the zucchini flavor got lost in all that flour. Added 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg, which didn’t hurt, but this recipe is really beyond redemption.
Not impressed, family didn’t care for it. Lots of ingredients for a dull dish. I’ll stick to zucchini bread.
I can’t stop eating these! Great for a quick grab type of food while on the road, at work etc. I did what another viewer did and added 1/2 Cup of Flour & 1/2 Cup of Corn Meal (judge by the wetness), I also omitted the milk as I shredded the Zucchini and rung out the moisture from it….added my own take on spices and fried them in butter…..LOVE THEM. My house smells amazing and I’m glad I bought 4 large Zucchini as I’ll make more once these are gone…..yes they are that good 🙂
Very good! Made this a few times.
I used butter instead of vegtibal shortening and they came out good.I also graded the zucini instead of chopping it with made the fritters more tasteful throughout the fritter.
These were really good. I made them as written, except I grated the squash and omitted the milk. They were quick, easy and a tasty way to use my summer bounty of zucchini. My children loved them, which is always a plus. Oh, I sautéed them in coconut oil, which gave them a crispy edge.
I made these fritters, but they were too dry and did not look like fritters – more like pancakes. Next time I will add less flour and maybe a little milk which I didn’t add based on some of the reviews. I did add some oregano, diced hot pepper and minced garlic. Taste was good but a little too thick. Will make again with the above revision.
Made the recipe as is except left out seasonings and added McCormick’s Garlic and Herb seasoning instead since we are on low sodium diets. Everyone in our family love these. So easy to make and very tasty! Can add chopped red, yellow and green bell peppers to add color and more veggies too.
I did have to add salt but following the directions exactly I got a pretty tasty dish.
I only had 1 egg. But with that, no milk and following the rest of the recipe I had a good consistency. My 7 year old thought these were ok. I thought they were great and ate 90% of the results.
We like things spicy in our family so I added diced jalapeño peppers to the mix. As other reviewers noted, the mix was very watery even after squeezing all the water out of the zucchini I could and I omitted the milk as recommended by others. I still had to add quite a bit of flour to get it to the right consistency for frying. All in all, they were really good and by adding the jalapeño peppers, they tasted a lot like jalapeño poppers, which was a nice surprise.

I make this often. I also shred the zucchini then squeeze out the juice, otherwise it’s too moist and stays mushy in the middle. Also, I don’t use the milk. Don’t really need it.
Easy and taste really good 🙂
It was so good. The second time I made them I changed it up a bit. I added a yellow squash, carrots and jalapeño. I grated everything. Went with one cup flour and one cup cornmeal. Also added cumin and only used about 1/4 cup milk. So freaking awesome !! My menfolk can’t get enough. I have to make for a third time in one week.
