Baked Zucchini Fritters | Wishful Chef. Last week we visited family, and always right before we head out the door my mom makes sure I bring something home…food-related of course! My family lives in Pennsylvania Dutch country, so they frequent their local Amish market and my mom always buys way more than she needs (hmm, wonder where I got that from!). This time she made me bring home some zucchini which I decided to use for baked zucchini fritters. I love fried zucchini fritters, but wanted to make a healthier baked version. This recipe is very easy to follow and uses whole wheat flour in the batter, but regular flour is just fine. Grate the zucchini and onion, then squeeze out the liquid with a paper towel. Place in a bowl, then mix together with flour, salt, pepper, egg and milk. Bake for about 20 minutes, then flip and bake for another 10 minutes on the other side.

Serve with garlic mayo or your favorite dipping sauce. Baked Zucchini Fritters Recipe Heat oven to 425°F. Cheddar Roasted Broccoli Recipe. Where are our broccoli fans?
