Gardening

I’ve noticed that more and more people are growing their own gardens these days. That’s a good thing because fresh, homegrown produce usually tastes better than store-bought produce. 

Another thing I’ve noticed is that one zucchini plant usually produces an excessive amount of zucchinis. That is also a really good thing. Why? Because there are so many delicious things you can do with zucchini. Besides making Simple Pan-Fried Zucchini you can make amazing Cream Cheese Zucchini Bread, Chocolate Zucchini Brownies, and Chocolate Espresso Zucchini Sheet Cake. 

Shredded Zucchini

This recipe for Zucchini Fritters begins by placing 2 heaping cups of shredded zucchini into a large mixing bowl.

Seasonings

The next step is to combine 1/2 cup milk and 1 egg in a mixing bowl and set it aside.

Next, combine the dry ingredients in a separate mixing bowl. The dry ingredients consist of 1-1/2 cups all-purpose flour, 1-1/2 teaspoon baking powder, and half of a 1-ounce package of Ranch salad dressing and seasoning mix. 

Combine Ingredients

Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and blend well. Fold in the zucchini. 

Fry the Fritters

Fill a deep fat fryer or skillet with oil to a 2-inch depth. Heat to 375 degrees F. Next, drop the batter by rounded teaspoonsful into the hot oil. Fry until golden brown, turning once. Drain thoroughly on paper towels. (At first, I suggest test-frying one or two fritters. That way you can easily adjust the size and/or frying time until you have it just right.)

Place the hot fritters into a small wicker serving basket lined with a piece of foil or a cute kitchen towel, or both! Oh, and you’ll definitely want to serve Ranch dressing on the side as a dipping sauce.

This recipe yields 1-1/2 to 2 dozen zucchini fritters (depending on how big you make them).
