Do you have a go-to snack that makes you think, “If I make this, I’m going to eat it until I’m completely full to my stomach?” That is the thing I say regarding these zucchini squanders. Therefore, rather than making them as an appetizer or snack, I usually make them on days when I don’t have anything planned for lunch or dinner so that I have plenty of room to chew on those delicious Zucchini Fritters!
Ingredients for Crispy Zucchini Fritters These traditional Greek zucchini fritters are made with egg, flour, feta cheese, light green zucchini, onion, and fresh mint leaves. I can’t even begin to describe how well zucchinis pair with feta cheese. This recipe for Fried Zucchini Blossoms Stuffed With Feta Cheese and this delectable and crispy Greek Zucchini Pie With Filo & Feta Cheese are excellent examples of this.
Courgette Fritters The flavor of the fresh mint is another reason I adore these fritters. Even though there are Greek versions that use dill, which has a more subtle flavor. And is what my brother prefers (he despises fresh mint, and it would be even better if I could eliminate the herbs entirely). I will never be able to comprehend why men dislike everything that is new and green. But anyway… Fried Zucchini Fritters: How to Make Crispy Fritters These five things must be kept in mind if you want your fritters to be perfectly crispy.
In addition, use a different oil for frying. Due to the fact that refined oils are frequently combined with water, deep-frying rather than boiling results. Therefore, crisper results can be achieved by using olive oil, which has a higher smoking point than other oils. It would be best to use only olive oil, but since it is expensive, use half and half.
Make sure the mixture has enough flour and don’t let it sit. To test this, fry a fritter; if not, add a little more flour.
On a gas or electric stove, cook at medium-high temperature.
Cook in bunches. Ensure you give them a lot of room in the dish to appropriately cook. The more squanders you add the more the temperature will decrease prompting soaked wastes.
Transfer to paper towels to absorb excess oil and prevent sogginess.
What To Present With Zucchini Squanders
Keep it perfect and insignificant and serve these with some Whipped Feta Cheddar Plunge, Tzatziki Plunge, Greek Plate of mixed greens, or even a conventional Greek Potato and Garlic Plunge. Serve them with a refreshing yogurt dip, as in this Greek-style Falalef recipe, if you want to serve them as a snack. Or, for the restaurant-style version of serving fritters, simply whisk together some cream, a few drops of lemon juice, salt, and pepper until it becomes thick, and then garnish with your favorite chopped fresh herb.
