Baked zucchini fritters with goat cheese

Baked zucchini fritters with goat cheese are a delicious and healthy option for a snack or side dish. This recipe is easy to follow, and the fritters are baked rather than fried, making them a lighter choice. The combination of zucchini and creamy goat cheese creates a flavorful dish that is sure to please your taste buds.

Ingredients:

1 zucchini
320g
1 tsp salt
6g
1 egg
50g
3 oz goat cheese
81g
1/4 tsp garlic powder
0.78g
1/2 tsp onion powder
1.20g
1/4 tsp black pepper
0.52g

Instructions:

1. Preheat Your Oven:
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with cooking spray.
2. Prepare the Zucchini:
- Wash and trim the ends off the zucchini. Use a grater to shred the zucchini into small pieces.
- Place the shredded zucchini into a bowl and sprinkle with the salt. Stir well to combine.
- Let the zucchini sit for about 10 minutes to draw out excess moisture.
3. Drain Zucchini:
- After 10 minutes, transfer the zucchini to a clean kitchen towel or cheesecloth. Squeeze out as much liquid as possible to ensure the fritters are not soggy.
4. Combine Ingredients:
- In a large bowl, whisk the egg.
- Add the drained zucchini, goat cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, and black pepper to the bowl. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly combined.
5. Shape the Fritters:
- Scoop out tablespoons of the mixture and form them into small patties. Place the patties on the prepared baking sheet, leaving some space between each fritter.
6. Bake:
- Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the fritters are golden brown and firm to the touch. Flip the fritters halfway through the baking time to ensure even cooking.
7. Serve:
- Remove the fritters from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes on the baking sheet.
- Serve the zucchini fritters warm, perhaps with a dollop of sour cream, yogurt, or a dipping sauce of your choice.

Tips:

- Grate the zucchini finely to ensure even cooking and a smooth texture.

- After grating the zucchini, squeeze out as much moisture as possible using a clean kitchen towel or cheesecloth. This helps to prevent the fritters from becoming soggy.

- Use fresh goat cheese for the best flavor and texture.

- If you prefer a crispier texture, you can lightly spray the fritters with olive oil before baking.

- Bake the fritters on parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure easy cleanup.

- Feel free to add fresh herbs like chopped parsley or dill for extra flavor.

These baked zucchini fritters with goat cheese are a nutritious and tasty addition to any meal. They are simple to prepare and can be enjoyed by both kids and adults alike. With a few easy steps and handy tips, you'll have a batch of delicious fritters ready to serve. Enjoy them as a snack, appetizer, or a side dish!
