Recipe of the Week: Crispy Zucchini Fritters with Garlic-Parsley Aioli
Zucchini is one of the most versatile veggies we grow, and this simple fritter recipe is a delicious way to use it while it’s in peak season.
Fritter Ingredients
2 medium zucchini, grated and squeezed dry
½ cup all-purpose flour
1 large egg, lightly beaten
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 tablespoons flat-leaf parsley, chopped
½ teaspoon sea salt
¼ teaspoon black pepper– Olive oil for frying
For the Aioli
½ cup mayonnaise
1 clove garlic, minced
1 tablespoon parsley, chopped
Juice of ½ lemon
Pinch of salt
Instructions
In a mixing bowl, combine zucchini, flour, egg, garlic, parsley, salt, and pepper.
Heat a thin layer of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat.
Scoop out 2 tablespoons of batter at a time and flatten into a patty.
Fry each fritter for 3–4 minutes per side until golden brown.
While the fritters cook, whisk together the aioli ingredients.
Serve warm, with aioli for dipping.
Produce Prep + Storage Tip
To keep zucchini fresh and crisp, store it unwashed in a perforated plastic bag in your fridge’s crisper drawer. This improves airflow and prevents early spoilage—lasting up to a week.
