Notes & Wine Advice
Serving Suggestions
Serve the vegetable fritters hot with yogurt sauce, sour cream, sweet chilli sauce, or a fresh herb dip. They work well alongside a green salad for lunch or as finger food for a party or picnic.Recipe Notes
Removing as much liquid as possible from the grated zucchini is essential for crisp fritters. If the vegetable mixture still seems very wet, add one additional tablespoon of flour before frying.Variations
Add grated Parmesan or cheddar for cheesy fritters. Finely chopped chilli or cayenne pepper adds heat, while cumin or curry powder gives the fritters a warmer spiced flavour. Other finely chopped vegetables such as bell pepper, broccoli, or cauliflower can also be added.Storage
Store cooled fritters in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days. Reheat them in a hot skillet, oven, or air fryer to restore their crispy exterior.Wine Advice
A crisp Sauvignon Blanc pairs well with the fresh vegetables and herbs. A light Pinot Grigio is another refreshing choice.Nutrition values
