This sweet zucchini fritters recipe holds a special place in my heart, passed down from my grandmother and mother. I love serving them with a dollop of vanilla ice cream and ripe apricots.

Ingredients
  

  • 2 zucchinis medium
  • ½ tsp vanilla extract
  • 4 Tbsp sugar
  • 4 Tbsps flour
  • 1 egg
  • 2 Tbsps oil

Instructions
 

  • Trim ends off zucchini and grate it on the large holes of a box grater. You can also use the food processor with the shredding blade, if you have one.
  • Wring out zucchini by pressing it against the holes of a colander with a spoon, in order to extract the water. Another great method is to wrap it up in a piece of cheese cloth and squeeze.
  • Add zucchini and all other ingredients in a bowl. Blend well together.
  • 1 tbsp of zucchini mix = 1 zucchini fritter
  • There are three ways to cook these fritters. Avoid deep frying! Very unhealthy!
  • 1. Heat oil in a skillet. Flip them on order to fry on both sides. Fry over low heat.
  • 2. Spray oil on skillet. This way you'll use less oil.
  • 3. Bake them! Cover an oven tray with some parchment paper and place fritters. Bake for 20-30 minutes.
  • Serve warm with vanilla ice cream and sliced apricots on top. YUM!
