I love zucchini and I have wanted to make zucchini fritters for a while.
I am glad that I finally did as they are so delicious and crispy.
Every bite reveals the perfectly cooked zucchini strips which still retain a nice crunch, and the Thai sweet chili sauce completes the flavor.
My zucchini fritters recipe is different from others.
Firstly, I do not recommend grating the zucchini because grating kills the perfect and crunchy texture of the zucchini, rending them into a mushy, watery mess.
Secondly, there is no need to squeeze the water contents out of the zucchini because that’s the best part of zucchini.
Thirdly, my zucchini fritters come in different shapes and forms, unlike the flattened versions.
Everyone of them is different but they are puffy and crunchy.
All in all though, I absolutely enjoy these fritters.
They are so easy to make and the end results are absolutely delightful and mouthwatering.
They are great as an appetizer.
Trust me, pick up some zucchinis before summer is over and try my recipe.
You will thank me for them!

Ingredients
- oil, for frying
- 8 oz zucchini, cut into matchstick strips
- 5 tablespoons all-purpose flour

- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 3 dashes ground black pepper
- Thai sweet chili sauce
Instructions
-
Trim the top part of the zucchini and cut the zucchini into matchstick strips. Do not grate the zucchini as your fritters will not be crispy and have a great texture.

Heat the oil in a large frying pan over medium-high heat.
-
Mix the zucchini, flour, egg, milk, cheese, baking powder, salt and pepper in a big bowl. Stir to combine well. The mixture should barely bind together and not wet or watery.

Using a spoon, scoop up the zucchini mixture and drop it gently into the hot oil. Fry in batches until both sides turn golden brown and the inside is cooked through. Remove from oil with a strainer and transfer the fritters on a plate lined with paper towels. Serve hot with Thai sweet chili sauce.

How much oil do you put in the pan?

To fry you need at least 2 inches of oil.

Do you think it would work to use a mandolin to slice the zucchini into matchsticks, or would that make them watery like grating would?
Rasa Malaysia
You can use the mandolin to slice to speed up the process, it should be OK. :)

I’d like to try this recipe but… without any cheese.
(Don’t like the taste, texture or smell)
Would using a bit of mayonnaise for the binding work ?

Hi! Can i roast it in oven instead? Will i have the same crispyness? Just trying to avoid frying.
Rasa Malaysia
Roasting in the oven doesn’t work. These are worth frying for!!

The recipe for cooking such delicious crispy zucchini requires an optimal aging during the baking. The result will also depend on the proportions.
