Equipment

Ingredients

US Customary - Metric

Instructions

  • Gather ground chicken, zucchini, egg, garlic, green onions, and seasonings, keeping olive oil ready for frying.
  • Grate the zucchini and squeeze out excess moisture using paper towels or a clean cloth to keep the mixture firm.
  • Combine chicken, zucchini, egg, garlic, green onions, paprika, onion powder, salt, and pepper in a bowl, stirring until evenly mixed.
  • Shape the mixture into 1½-inch balls and fry in olive oil over medium heat for 3–4 minutes per side until golden and cooked through.

Notes

  • Grate and squeeze zucchini well to remove extra water. This helps the fritters hold together and stay crispy while cooking.
  • Use a non-stick skillet or a little olive oil for frying. It keeps the fritters golden brown without sticking.
  • Season the mixture with garlic powder, onion powder, or paprika. A little spice adds a lot of flavor to each bite.
  • Serve fritters hot with your favorite dipping sauce. They taste best when fresh and crispy right out of the pan.
  • You can level up this recipe by adding shredded mozzarella cheese for a cheesy dish.
