You guys, these Healthy Zucchini Fritters represent everything I love about food.

Still not convinced? The fritters are also quick and easy to make (and dangerously easy to eat!). Let’s do this!
Ingredients for Healthy Zucchini Fritters
You will only need a few basic healthy ingredients. When I say basic, I really mean it.

How to make Healthy Zucchini Fritters
Are you all set? Great! Let’s make these healthy fritters together – I promise you will love them as much as I do. Shall we?
First, I want you to grate the zucchinis into a tea towel and wring out the excess water (yes, ALL of it – it will be a lot!). Do NOT skip this step because you don’t want to end up with super soft and watery fritters (trust me, you don’t!). Once you’ve got your grated zucchini, go ahead and combine all ingredients but the corn starch and baking powder until well combined. Now add the corn starch and baking powder and mix again. As a last step, go into crazy frying mode and fry the fritters for about 10 minutes. That’s it. You’re done. That was easy, wasn’t it?
By now, you should be hungry…
How to serve Healthy Zucchini Fritters
Wanna know how to serve your delicious fritters? Let me tell you. Actually, you’ve actually got several serving options. That is, you can serve them either hot as a side dish OR cold as a quick snack. Personally, I don’t have a preference as they’re delicious either way. Having said that, although the fritters are oh-so-yummy on their own, I HIGHLY recommend serving them with my Spring Onion Dip. Seriously, the combination is a PERFECT match.
