zucchini fritters

What a lovely concept.  Fritters are a one-size-fits-all food.  Take a food you like, mix it with batter and fry it.  Can’t get much easier than that!

I made this recipe for zucchini fritters a second time, substituting cauliflower for the zucchini.  Tasty!

As far as dipping sauces go, Ranch dressing is always a winner in my book.  In this recipe I’ve given you ideas for three different dipping sauce options.  My favorite of the three is the chili-garlic mayo.

If you’ve got a favorite fritter, tell us about it on Facebook.  We’d love to hear from you!

ENJOY!

Zucchini Fritters and a Trio of Sauces
Slightly adapted from recipe on Family Feedbag
Zucchini fritters are fast and easy to make. A great day to sneak some veggies into your diet! Ranch dip is always a great accompaniment, but this recipe has 3 more sauce alternatives.

Ingredients

fritters

  • 1-1/2 Cup flour
  • 1 Teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 Teaspoon chili powder
  • 1/2 Teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 Teaspoon pepper
  • 3 Cups shredded zucchini (You can substitute cauliflower for the zucchini, if you want.)
  • 1/4 Cup onions (finely chopped)
  • 2 eggs
  • * * *

chili lime mayo

  • 1 Cup mayo
  • juice from 1/2 lime
  • 1/2 Teaspoon chili powder
  • * * *

chili garlic mayo

  • 1 Cup mayo
  • 1 Tablespoon chili-garlic sauce (you can find this in the oriental foods section of the grocery store)
  • * * *

creamy chili-lime sauce

  • 1/4 Cup white wine
  • 1/4 Cup fresh lime juice
  • 1 Tablespoon ginger (minced)
  • 1/3 Cup heavy cream
  • 2 Tablespoons chili-garlic sauce
  • 2 Tablespoons unsalted butter

Note

The recipe for fritters and chili-lime sauce was slightly adapted from Family Feedbag.  The recipe for the creamy chili-lime sauce was adapted from one I found on Epicurious.com.  The garlic-chili mayo is just a really simple dipping sauce that Jeff and I have been making for years.
