Notes
Feel free to add other additions to your zucchini fritters, try chopped mushrooms, red pepper, green pepper, tomatoes, grated squash. If you like it spicier try adding another 1/4 teaspoon of cayenne pepper, or a chopped jalapeño. Do you like your fritters extra crunchy? Before you fry them, sprinkle breadcrumbs on both sides to give it extra texture. Add other garnishes, try chopped green onion, shredded cheese, diced tomatoes, or a spoonful of salsa, Greek yogurt, or marinara sauce.
