Spoon zucchini fritters: easy and quick to make!

Spoon Zucchini Fritters are a delicious way to sneak more veggies into a meal. Not only are they quick and easy to make, but it’s also a great way to use up leftover vegetables lurking in the fridge. To make these crispy fritters, you will need eggs, zucchini, flour, baking powder, cheese, and chopped ham. You simply grate the veggies and mix them with the other ingredients to form a thick batter. Using spoons, the batter is fried in hot oil until golden! Each bite is crispy on the outside and soft and tender on the inside. Delicious! They’ll be a hit among the pickiest of eaters.

Spoon Zucchini Fritter Ingredients

• Eggs – use large free-range eggs
• Zucchini – use large fresh zucchini (no need to peel first)
• Flour – use all-purpose flour or gluten-free flour
• Milk – can be substituted with almond or soy milk
• Baking powder – acts as a rising agent in the fritters
• Cheese – use cheddar, Swiss cheese, or Monterey jack
• Ham – use chopped boiled ham (or crispy bacon will also work!)
• Seasoning – salt and pepper is all you need (add a pinch of cayenne if you prefer heat)
• Oil – use a neutral oil suitable for frying at higher temperatures like canola, peanut, sunflower, or corn oil.

How to Store Zucchini Fritters

Keep the leftover fritter in the fridge for up to 3-4 days. Reheat them in the air fryer or oven (for crispiness). You can reheat them in the microwave, but they won’t stay as crispy.
