It’s that time of year when zucchini is in full bloom and is likely making a regular appearance on your menus.
Don’t get me wrong, I love zucchini! It’s a versatile vegetable that can be used in both sweet and savory recipes. It can be shredded, cubed, sliced, diced, zoodled, baked, grilled, sautéed, you name it…it can be done.
I haven’t grown a garden for that last two summers, yet I still end up with all the zucchini!
I’ll be honest, there have been many zucchini seasons where I’ve become a wee bit tired of it. Garden growers are giving it away all around us. In fact, if you hit up the last hour of a Farmers’ Market, there’s a good chance you’ll be taking home some free zucchini. So this year, I’m on a mission to find new and tasty ways to use it up! With all of the zucchini recipes out there, there’s really no reason anyone should get bored of this non-starchy, versatile vegetable, which is why I’m sharing a zucchini recipe with you today. Savory Zucchini Fritters are a tasty and easy way to put a dent in your zucchini supply. They’re crispy, flavorful and quick to make.
Made with less than 8 ingredients, these Whole30 & Paleo-friendly Savory Zucchini Fritters will make a fast-and-easy, downright delicious addition to any meal.
Zucchini Fritters are perfect for breakfast served along side of your favorite sausage and some berries. I also like to use them in place of a bun and sandwich one of our juicy grilled bacon burgers between two fritters. The key to the crisp. If you desire oh-so-crispy Zucchini Fritters, you won’t want to skip step number one of the instructions which is to sweat the zucchini and squeeze out as much liquid as possible. This is key! Additionally, making sure the ghee (or butter) is hot and sizzles will also help to crisp up the fritters.

We love meal prep Sunday. Well…we don’t always love it in the moment, but after the fact, we do like having food prepared for the week ahead! Savory Zucchini Fritters are perfect for meal prep and are freezer-friendly, too. In the instructions, I share the best way to store and reheat them.

To Reheat: Fritters can easily be reheated, frozen or thawed, in a skillet over medium heat. Add a teaspoon of ghee to the skillet heat and then add the fritters to the pan to reheat. Add more ghee as needed. You can also reheat fritters in the oven. Temp set at 375 degrees F. Time will vary depending on whether the fritters are being reheated from frozen or thawed.
