Zucchini Fritters served with sour cream and diced tomatoes.
…
I was lucky enough to be assigned Cook Lisa Cook for the July edition of Secret Recipe Club. I’ll be making many trips back to Lisa’s blog, before I’ve exhausted the list of all the recipes I want to try, from her collection. For this particular assignment, I selected Zucchini Fritters, 1) because I have never eaten or made them and 2) because I love new ideas to use fresh garden produce. I didn’t change up very much with this recipe. It’s scrumptious, as is. I used a little less onion and a little more nutmeg. I know you’re going to love these as much as our family!
Super simple, fabulously frugal and absolutely delicious! Wonderful way to eat fresh produce from your garden.
Ingredients
- 4 cups grated zucchini
- 3 eggs
- 1/2 medium Vidalia onion, minced
- 3/4 cup King Arthur All Purpose Flour
- 1/2 tsp nutmeg
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground pepper to taste
- peanut oil
Instructions
- Mix the zucchini, onions and egg.
- Add flour, nutmeg, salt and pepper.
- Heat a very thin coating of oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
- I used a 1/3 cup measuring cup about half full to dip batter into my skillet, flattening them as I poured them out.
- I fried the fritters 1-2 minutes per side until lightly browned.
- Drain on paper towels and while still hot, sprinkle with some additional salt & pepper to taste.

Here’s how I put them together:
Shredded zucchini, diced onion and other fritter ingredients.
- I mixed the zucchini, onions and eggs, then added the flour, nutmeg, salt and pepper.
Nutmeg, flour and other dry ingredients added to batter.
- Heat enough peanut oil to cover the bottom of your skillet, on medium-high heat.
- I used my 1/3 cup measuring cup, filled about half full, to spread the batter into the bottom of my skillet. I spread them out fairly thin, probably about 1/4 inch thick.
Three zucchini fritters beginning to fry in my skillet.
- After 1-2 minutes, turn the fritters to cook the other side. The color will be golden brown when they are ready to turn.
When the bottoms are golden brown, flip the fritters to fry the other side.
- Drain the fritters on paper towels and then transfer to a plate. I got 15 fritters from this batch, counting the ones that were eaten before they could make it to the plate.
Our fifteen-year-old son, flipped for these and wanted to know if there was a way to take them in his lunch, when he’s detasseling in the fields, next week. Then my son-in-law stopped by and saw what I was making. He was super excited to try them, as he said his mom used to make zucchini fritters when he was a kid. These definitely passed muster and he asked that I get the recipe to my daughter, right away.
Yum! My plate of zucchini fritters with sour cream and diced, fresh tomato.
I ate my fritters with sour cream and diced tomatoes. I required myself to eat only two, but I’m not kidding when I tell you, it would have been nothing for me to polish off half a dozen! Nothing beats the freshness of summer produce for flavor and texture. I could eat these with fresh sliced tomatoes, cucumbers and onions, and some sweet corn,…oh and some watermelon. lol Mmmm….The fresh tastes of summer make a hearty delicious meal, any way you serve them up! How’s your garden coming?
Well, there’s no question this recipe is a keeper and that our family will be serving zucchini fritters, again. Thanks so much to Cook Lisa Cook and to Secret Recipe Club for helping us discover them!

This Giveaway is now closed. Congratulations to #525, Sandra!
I have some great news! Noritake Colorwave Bakeware is wonderful! Some even better news? – Noritake is another “A Homemade Holiday” sponsor. I had a chance over this past weekend to bake and serve with their Colorwave Bakeware and I am incredibly excited. This stoneware from Noritake is microwave-, oven- and dishwasher- safe and it comes in great color options — blue, chocolate, graphite, green and raspberry. I received a 2-quart covered casserole, a 9½” round baker/pie plate and a 1½-quart square baker in order to conduct this review. They are lovely, with a matte raspberry finish that makes them perfect, not just for baking, but for serving. I think that may be one of my favorite things about Colorwave Bakeware — they make your food and table look so beautiful! For Thanksgiving and Christmas meal preparations, they will be excellent — oven to table or fridge to table — you won’t be disappointed, no matter how you decide to use them.
I love cooking for Thanksgiving and Christmas – anytime, actually; but especially when friends or family will enjoy a meal along with us. Every family has traditional foods and dishes that they prepare for these special holidays and we are no exception, but I also get excited to “mix it up” a little and try something new. So, I’ve been trying new side dish and salad recipes that might be a yummy addition to our (and your) holiday menus. I can’t wait to share them with you. There’ll be three new recipes, this week, all prepared in my fabulous new Noritake bakeware. Each recipe will be an individual post with its own step-by-step tutorial. I can’t wait for you to see how delicious and beautiful they look!
The best news of all is that one Busy-at-Home reader will win this same set of three Noritake Colorwave Bakeware pieces in Raspberry for their own holiday baking! Read the details below and enter the drawing.
