OMG these zucchini fritters are to die for! The ingredients are so simple and the end result of these fritters are SO tasty!! Who would think so with only 3-ingredients. These fritters are great for baby led weaner starters 6mo+ and is a great way to introduce egg into bub's diet. These fritters are great for the family and are a great lunch, dinner or even a snack on the run. (Please note: egg is a potential allergen food. The latest 2017 ASCIA recommendations are to introduce egg and all other allergen foods between 6mo-12mo, this may potentially prevent the risk of bub developing an allergy in the near future (ref: ASCIA). Please speak with your Dr or Ped. if you have any concerns or about introducing allegenic foods to your baby.)
Ingredients
- 1x large Zucchini
- 2x free range eggs
- 1/4 cup of plain flour (all purpose-flour)
- * Additional (but not needed): full fat greek yogurt OR coconut yogurt (non-dairy option) to serve the fritters with as a dipping sauce.
Directions
- Step 1 On a chopping board or big bowl, grate the whole Zucchini. Then in a separate bowl (or over the sink) take handfuls of the grated Zucchini and squeeze out the excess water, whilst placing the ready ‘grated’ zucchini into a big bowl.
- Step 2 Mix all ingredients: dryer grated zucchini, 2x eggs and flour in a bowl, and your mixture is now ready!
- Step 3 Prepare a big plate with paper towel and set aside near the stove top (ready for the fritters after cooking)
- Step 4 On the stove top, place a fry pan with a couple of tablespoons of olive oil on medium heat.
- Step 5 Using a tablespoon, spoon out zucchini fritters to the size you would like and flatten them down a little bit.
- Step 6 Cook both sides from approx. 1.30 to 2min each side.
- Step 7 Once fritters are cooked, place them on the plate with the paper towel, to cool.
- Step 8 Serve straight away (with full fat greek yogurt for dipping) OR let them all cool and freeze them for snacks though out the next couple of week 🙂 How to serve for a 6 month old+ serve into long finger size strips so baby can pick up with their small fist.
WOW! Thank you, these were great. My 9 month old didn’t care too much for dipping but ate the fritters right up!
Fabulous! ??
I am not a cook at all but these were really simple and my 9 month young girl absolutely loved them so thank you! Question though – if I freeze them, how do I then recook them? See, total newbie cook over here!
Great to hear! We reheat them overnight in the fridge or pop them in the microwave ? x
Made them today, loved the taste and texture! The toddler thought they are made for throwing not eating so hopefully will get some in her mouth next time I make them which I bet won’t be long. Thanks for the recipe! Can they be made with 1/2 zucchini and 1/2 small butternut squash or large sweet potato?
Sure can!! X
Made these today,my 2 year old loved them☺
