Blackstone Zucchini Fritters

I love summer, and even though I haven’t actually grown zucchini in quite a few years, I always wind up with more than I know what to do with during the growing season from friends, family, and neighbors. 

While I love some zucchini boats, zucchini stir-fry, zucchini bread, grilled zucchini, zucchini stir-fry, zucchini pasta bakes, and spiralized togarashi zucchini, zucchini cakes are a simple and easy side that is great on almost any barbecue spread, or as an appetizer.

How to make zucchini fritters on the Blackstone Griddle

I love making these because they are SO simple to throw together. Just shred your zucchini, squeeze as much water out as you can inside a clean dish towel.

Then, mix together with the rest of the ingredients, and form into balls.

Preheat your Blackstone or other gas griddle over medium-low heat and lay down some oil and butter. 

Place the balls onto the griddle and smash them down with a metal spatula until they are about 1/2 inch thick. 

Cook for a couple of minutes, until it is browned, and flip once (laying down a little butter before you flip!)

Are there any substitutions or mix-ins that would work?

There sure are! 

You can substitute in a different kind of bread crumbs, a different kind of cheese, more or less garlic, add in some chives to the mix, or mix in your favorite rub or seasoning blend.

How to prevent your zucchini fritters from being soggy

Soggy fritters are a common complaint on the internets, and the solution couldn’t be easier. 

If something is soggy, it means there is too much liquid. 

In this case, the excess liquid is coming from the zucchini. 

The key to making these fritters crispy and light is going to be getting ALL the excess water out of them. My favorite way to do that is to put the shredded zucchini into a clean dish towel and then ringing out all of the excess water.

How to save leftover fritters

It is important to make sure that you keep these wrapped tightly in plastic wrap. If you toss them all into a storage container, you’re likely going to end up with condensation and that’ll make these soggy as well. 

I like to wrap individually, and then throw them into a large baggie in the freezer. They keep for quite a while in a deep freeze!

How to reheat zucchini fritters

The best way to reheat fried foods, whether it is deep-fried, pan-fried, or griddle-fried, is in the air fryer. 

If you don’t have an air fryer, a convection oven would be your next best bet, followed up with a regular oven if you don’t have that.
