Summer Squash Fritters Recipes

EASY SQUASH FRITTERS

Steps:

• Mix grated squash, baking mix, milk, egg, Parmesan cheese, butter, salt, pepper, and garlic-herb seasoning together in a large bowl.
• Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Drop tablespoonfuls of the batter into the hot oil about 1 inch apart. Cook for 1 1/2 to 2 minutes; flip and continue cooking until lightly browned on the second side. Drain on a paper towel-lined plate. Repeat with remaining batter, adding oil to the skillet as needed.

SUMMER SQUASH FRITTERS WITH GARLIC DIPPING SAUCE

Steps:

• Heat oven to 375 degrees, put garlic cloves in a small baking dish and add enough olive oil to cover. Roast until garlic is soft and golden, about 30 minutes. Cool.
• Drain garlic, reserving oil. Transfer to a food processor, add 1 tablespoon reserved oil and the mayonnaise, lemon juice, salt and pepper and purée. Transfer to a bowl and stir in chives. Use remaining oil for another purpose.
• Combine flour, Cheddar, salt, pepper and garlic powder in a large bowl. In a separate bowl, gently whisk eggs with beer. Pour egg mixture into flour mixture and stir until combined. Stir in zucchini, yellow squash and onion.
• Heat canola oil in a large heavy-bottomed skillet over medium-high heat. Drop about 1 tablespoon of batter into the oil per fritter and fry 6 fritters at a time until golden-brown, 2 to 3 minutes a side. Remove to paper towels to drain. Serve hot, with the sauce on the side.

SUMMER SQUASH FRITTERS WITH BASIL & LEMONY SOUR CREAM

Steps:

• In a medium bowl, toss together the grated squash and the salt. Line a fine-mesh sieve with several layers of paper towels or cheesecloth. Add salted squash to the sieve and place over a bowl to drain. Let sit for five minutes then gather up the sides of paper towels or cheesecloth and gently squeeze the liquid out of the squash (there will probably be quite a bit).
• Add the egg to a medium bowl and beat lightly with a fork. Add the flour, basil, onion, black pepper, and the squash. Stir with fork to combine.
• Place a large skillet over medium heat. Add 1 - 2 tablespoons of olive oil, enough to lightly coat most of the bottom of the skillet. Once the oil is hot, add fritter mixture to pan in approximately 2 tablespoon increments, working quickly to spread the fritter into a round shape before it begins to cook. I usually cook 3 fritters at a time; any more and the pan gets crowded and it's hard to manage them all. Cook for 1-2 minutes, until golden brown, and flip to cook the other side until golden and the fritter is cooked through, about 1-2 more minutes. Transfer to a paper-towel-lined plate. Add more oil to the pan and repeat with remaining batter.
• To make the sour cream topping, add the sour cream, zest, juice, and salt to a bowl and stir to combine.
• Serve fritters right away, topped with a drizzle of lemony sour cream and garnish with basil leaves if desired.

ZUCCHINI AND YELLOW SQUASH FRITTERS

Steps:

• Remove seeds from the squash and zucchini, then coarsely grate them so that they have a rope-like texture. Using a food processor would work, too.
• Add 1 tsp salt to the zucchini and squash and let it sit for 10 minutes. Then remove as much water as possible from the zucchini and squash. You can do this by placing it in a colander and pressing with a spoon, or by wrapping it in a clean dishcloth and squeezing.
• Add onion, cheese, parsley, and the egg, then season with salt and pepper.
• In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour and baking powder, then add the flour into your zucchini and squash mixture and mix well.
• Heat the 2 tbs oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Then drop handfuls of the mixture into the oil and flatten with your spatula. Let them fry on one side for 2:30-3 minutes, then flip and fry for another 2 minutes. Remove from pan and place them on a paper towel to drain. Repeat until you've used all your batter.
• Serve warm, with sour cream for dipping.
