Fried zucchini fritters are a crispy, golden-brown appetizer or snack enjoyed in various cuisines, particularly Mediterranean and American. Made from grated zucchini mixed with eggs, flour, herbs, and seasonings, they are lightly fried to perfection. Garlic, onion, and parsley are common flavor enhancers, while some recipes may include cheese for added richness. Zucchini, the star ingredient, is low in calories and a great source of vitamins A, C, and potassium, making this dish a sneaky way to incorporate vegetables into your diet. However, frying can increase calorie content and add unhealthy fats, so moderation is key. For a lighter twist, baking or air-frying can deliver similar flavor and texture with less oil. Typically served with a dollop of yogurt-based dip or marinara sauce, these fritters offer a delicious blend of crunch, flavor, and nutrition when enjoyed as part of a balanced diet.
