3 cups zucchini, grated
1 1/2 cups grated cheddar cheese
1/2 cup onion, minced
fresh garlic, minced or garlic powder, to taste
1 egg
1 cup Bisquick (approximate)

Tips:

  • Be sure to squeeze out the excess moisture from the zucchini before mixing it with the other ingredients. This will help to prevent the fritters from becoming too soggy.
  • Use a combination of all-purpose flour and cornmeal to make the fritters. This will give them a crispy exterior and a tender interior.
  • Add plenty of fresh herbs andチーズ to the fritters. This will give them a delicious flavor.
  • Serve the fritters hot with your favorite dipping sauce.

Zucchini fritters are a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer or side dish. They are perfect for using up leftover zucchini, and they can be made in advance and reheated later. So next time you have some zucchini on hand, be sure to try this recipe. You won't be disappointed!
