Easy Baked Zucchini Fritters

These 5-ingredient, easy baked zucchini fritters are the perfect summer recipe to showcase fresh zucchini.

Easy Baked Zucchini FrittersZucchini fritters are a household staple. I’ve made them every summer for years to use up the zucchini crop from our garden.  Pan-fried zucchini fritters is a meal that I always think will be quick since the batter is so easy to whip up, but then I end up standing in front of the stove for a long time making three at a time in our skillet until way past dinner time.  I loved the taste, but not the time it took to make.  This year I thought I’d try to make a baked version of these zucchini fritters.  By baking, I turned hands-on stove time into hands-off oven time.  Now, these fritters are super easy and tasty!

I tried these out with two different dipping sauces: a creamy soy dipping sauce and lemon dill sour cream.  Make one or both – my family loves to combine the two.  To make this a more substantial meal, try serving over rice or you could turn it into breakfast for dinner with bacon and eggs.

How to Make 5-Ingredient Easy Baked Zucchini Fritters

Start out by grating your zucchini.  I used one extra large zucchini to yield 4 cups, you may need 2 or 3 smaller zucchini.  Place the zucchini in several layers of paper towels and squeeze gently to remove some of the moisture.  Add the eggs, beat with a fork for a minute, then add the flour, salt, and cheddar cheese.  Mix together, and then add the zucchini and mix until thoroughly combined.

You’ll bake these on a nonstick baking sheet for about 7 minutes, then take out of the oven, flip the fritters, and bake for an additional 6 to 7 minutes.  Serve with one or both of the dipping sauces.  If you try these easy baked zucchini fritters, please leave a comment and review below to let me know how you liked it!

    I love that these are baked! I love fritters but sometimes they can feel a little too greasy in all that oil so these are perfect!

    Ok, I just found out I’m getting a TON of zukes in my CSA this week, so this recipe is perfect! Plus, it looks like a great way to sneak some veg to the kiddos. 🙂
