Panko Parmesan Zucchini Fritters are a delicious and nutritious way to use up all of that summer squash from your garden.
The zucchini season always passes me by. In the same way that I was late to the zoodle party, I’m also late to the zucchini fritter party. Similarly to how I felt about zoodles, I can’t believe I’ve gone so long without indulging in this delicacy. We have found our new favorite zucchini fritter recipe, and it calls for Panko and Parmesan cheese.
A couple of weeks ago, I got around to planting our garden and zucchinis. Memorial Day comes around every year, and I still don’t observe the day in any meaningful way. I often say that I’ll do better the next year, but then I don’t. Oy. The gorgeous zucchinis I shredded for these fritters came straight from our Imperfect Produce box and were completely organic. But in a few months, we’ll have zucchini for days—zoodles, relish, and now fritters!
Fritters made with zucchini and Parmesan cheese are both tasty and nutritious.
One of the most adaptable veggies is the zucchini. When zucchini is roasted, grilled, or baked, it infuses whatever it is cooked with with its mild flavor and inherent wetness.

These fritters are a delicious and nutritious alternative to store-bought snack chips.

And the best thing is… Whether you eat them plain or with a dipping sauce, they’re sure to please.
The ingredients for these tasty fritters are:
Ingredients
2 grated medium-sized zucchini
Parmesan cheese, grated, enough for 1 cup
1 cup of flour, any kind
Two eggs, beaten briefly
1/2 a clove of garlic, minced
Basil, dry, one teaspoon
Add pepper and salt to taste.
Fry in vegetable oil
Instructions:
Get out the cheese grater and wrap the grated zucchini in a clean dish towel. Reduce the amount of moisture by applying pressure. This step is crucial in avoiding sogginess in the fritters.
Mix the grated zucchini, Parmesan cheese, flour, eggs, garlic powder, basil, salt, and pepper together in a large mixing basin. Thoroughly combine the ingredients so that a batter is created.
Prepare a big frying pan with vegetable oil and heat it over medium heat.
Drop tablespoons of batter into the hot oil, and then use the back of the spoon to gently flatten each ball of batter into a patty. Cook for about 3 minutes total (about 2 minutes on each side).
To use up all the batter, simply repeat the steps above.
Take the fritters out of the pan and lay them on a paper towel-lined dish so the oil can drain.
Warm the zucchini and Parmesan cheese fritters and enjoy them on their own or with a sauce of your choosing.
