Make the most out of the last of garden fresh zucchini, with this crispy on the outside and tender on the inside fritter with onions, and parmesan cheese combined in a piping hot pan to produce a crispy, slightly chewy, cheesy appetizer.

Make a double batch and eat it throughout the week. BONUS: Kids love this recipe.

Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon avocado or coconut oil
  • 2 cups shredded zucchini, lightly packed
  • 1/2 cup shredded onion, drained
  • 1/2 cup shredded Parmesan or Pecorino cheese, plus more for serving
  • 1/2 cup panko breadcrumbs
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp pepper
  • 1 egg

Instructions

  1. Put the oil in the cast iron skillet, place the skillet in the oven, and turn the oven to 400°F.
  2. While the oven and pan heat up, mix all the remaining ingredients in a large bowl.
  3. Once the oven reaches 400°F, pull the hot pan out of the oven, and pour the zucchini fritter mixture in a thin layer in the skillet. It will sizzle.
  4. Put the fritter back into the oven and bake for 30 minutes.
  5. Remove fritter from skillet and let sit for about 10 minutes to set.
  6. Sprinkle with additional shredded cheese and slice into wedges.

Notes

This fritter tastes great at room temperature, and also delicious when reheated the next day.
