Try them with our Yogurt Mint Dressing for that extra zing! The balance of flavors will totally wow your taste buds.
You could also serve Turkish Zucchini Fritters with tasty Zucchini Noodles with Pesto for an epic zucchini-themed feast. If none of that tickles your fancy, whip up some Watermelon Agua Fresca for a refreshing sip on the side!
Tips and Notes
- Use Fresh Zucchini: Opt for fresh, small zucchinis for the best flavor.
- Grate and Squeeze: Always grate your zucchini and then squeeze out the excess moisture. This helps to keep your fritters crispy.
- Mix It Up: Feel free to add chopped herbs like dill or parsley for added flavor.
- Fry vs Bake: If you want a lighter version, bake them in the oven at 400°F (200°C) for about 20 minutes instead of frying!
- Storage: Keep them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven or toaster oven to crisp them back up.
Don’t wait to get frying – these Turkish Zucchini Fritters are too good to miss out on! Check out the full recipe and give them a whirl. You’re gonna love it!
