Cheesy Vegetable Fritters
A cute little pancake that holds so much flavor and comes together in 15 minutes
I use these all the time in place of my sandwich bread. Some turkey slices, salami and cheese and I’m in heaven! I paired it with my favorite quick dip: my Lazy Tzatziki.

I recently became a vegetarian and was looking for new recipes to try. This one was fantastic!! Thank you for sharing!
Is there anything else I can use besides cheese?
Can the flour or potato starch in your recipes be substituted for almond flour? Do you think it would work?
Delicious fritters! As I am a coeliac, I replaced the flour with gluten-free plain flour and the fritters were perfect, especially with the lazy tzatziki dip. Thank you for such a great recipe. 👌
I made these for my 1yr old and I and they were so yummy. I added some nutritional yeast as well, it turned out great!
Delicious
These are SOOO good!!! Thanks for sharing the recipe:)

OMG sooo good. I will be making again. I actually used almond flour
Hi Joy, thanks for sharing your feedback! Glad you liked them!
I had these random white squashes that my grandmother gave me sitting in my fridge, having no idea what to do with them. I ran across this recipe and thought, how bad can it be? An hour of vegetable shredding later, I baked my fritters. I replaced the zucchini with white squash, and used gluten free all purpose flour. They smelled amazing and tasted even better! Held together perfectly too. Thank you so much for this great recipe and finally giving me a great way to use the uninspiring squashes haha.
Hi Jocelyn, Thanks for the feedback! Sounds great with the white squash and I’m so happy they came in handy!
These were the first thing gone off my child’s plate who hates veggies. Thanks for a great recipe. These will definitely make a regular appearance.
Hi Melissa, that’s the best compliment! Thanks for the rating too!
Hi Stella.
Just finishing up my first batch of these yummy fritters. I used a cheesecloth to squeeze out the water from the zucchini and was amazed how it just coming out! I think after reading many of the comments where people thought that the fritters were too mushy, I think they just didn’t get enough of the moisture out. Even with me, triple-squeezing the zucchini and mixing everything up in the bowl, there was still a little moisture that collected at the bottom of the bowl Not much, but just a little.
I used all purpose Gluten Free flour and they still came out perfectly!
Firm and tasty. I would warn everyone that if you’re using one pan, after a few batches the pan tends to keep getting hotter so I would turn down the heat a bit so the fritters can cook without burning.
I’m taking these to a football party.
These will be accompanying fresh stone crab claws being pulled out the the gulf today since it’s the first day of Stone Crab season here in Florida.
Hi Jacqueline, That’s definitely great feedback and I appreciate you taking the time to share with everyone! Those stone crab claws sound delicious – hope you guys enjoyed! Cheers!
The good news is I love all of your recipes. The bad news is I’m disabled and stuck in bed so I have to find someone to be kind enough to make them for me. I do have one friend that is going to make one of the zucchini recipes soon. I can’t wait. Thank you for your recipes and God bless you.
God bless you Francine, I wish you all the best and I’m so glad you have help. Thank you for the kind message and Im sorry for the late reply!
Can we bake them? At what temperature would you recommend??
Hi Amy, yes you can bake these. I would do 400F for 20 minutes
Loved the fritters and everyone’s ideas about substituting cheeses and using broccoli slaw, among others. So versatile, and you can make it work even if you don’t have the same ingredients. Disappointed in the 15 minutes total time. Where do these times come from? Even with a top notch food processor and quick hands, no one could that fast. Frustrating. Wondering why such gross understatement of time. Anybody have an answer?
these were very good! I liked them better smaller than 1/4 cup cause they cooked really fast. Will definitely make again. I used fresh mozzarella and ground it in the food processor first. So good combined with the Tzatziki!
