What to eat with zucchini fritters for dinner? ›

Wondering what to serve with zucchini fritters? They're a fantastic starter for a summer meal, and they're a lovely side dish for any simply cooked protein. I also like to pair them with a hearty salad, like my panzanella, Greek salad, or chopped salad, for a light, fresh summer dinner.

The best side dishes to serve with zucchini fries are tzatziki sauce, blooming onion, mozzarella sticks, Popeyes sweet heat sauce, poached egg, guacamole, potato rosti, cauliflower steaks, crispy chicken wings, garden salad, cheese dip, shrimp skewers, mushroom risotto, spinach artichoke dip, and BBQ ribs.

Why Are My Vegetable Fritters Soggy? The most common reason that fritters get soggy is due to cooking them in oil that isn't hot enough. So first make sure that you use just enough oil to cover the surface of your skillet.

They pack up great for lunch, either on their own or in a sandwich, and they even make a nice, light dinner when paired with a simple salad. But the best part about these fritters is that what you decide to put in them is really just determined by what you already have in your kitchen.

Avoid planting zucchini and summer squash with all other vining plants which include cucumbers and sweet potatoes as well as pumpkins, winter squashes, and melons.

Zucchini may also contribute to a gut-friendly diet, thanks to its fiber content. High-fiber foods may help improve your overall gut health, while also essentially cleaning it of buildup and bacteria by keeping bowel movements regular.

Yes, dogs can eat zucchini and it's perfectly safe for dogs and puppies. In fact, it may be one of the best vegetables to feed dogs. Zucchini can be given to dogs raw or cooked, and they can eat the fruit or flowers. However, it's important not to give your dog too much zucchini at once.

Traditionally Spam fritters are either served at the chippy, or with chips and beans/peas. Here I've just served them as some finger food with a good helping of ketchup! If you're looking for a similar beer battered recipe then check out my Beer Battered Onion Rings!

4. Reheating - fritters are best served fresh. But to reheat leftovers, pop them on a rack in a stinking hot oven (250C/480F) or as high as your oven will go for 5 minutes. OR pan fry lightly in a little oil to re-crisp and rewarm!

Zucchini are mild summer squashes, so any similarly mild squash would provide a similar taste and texture. I've seen recipes that use thick slices of cucumber in a similar way to zucchini but this will definitely affect the flavor. For sweet dishes, melon might be a suitable substitute.
