Last updated on August 4th, 2023 at 09:54 pm

Are you trying to eat more veggies? If you’re getting tired of salads or piling your plate with heaps of plain vegetables, here’s a tasty alternative–fritters!

I love this quick and easy garden vegetable fritters recipe. It’s a great way to use up any over-abundance of zucchini you might have from your garden too.

This recipe is the perfect way to get your kids to eat more vegetables. Kids love finger foods, of course, and if you give them some dip, they’ll love these fritters even more!

This is a basic recipe, so feel free to adjust the seasoning to your taste. Some people like to add dill or, or for a little spice, you can try 1/2 teaspoon of tumeric. 

This recipe will make about 10 to 12 fritters. They make the perfect snack or side dish. We like to dip them in plain Greek yogurt or sour cream. Lately, I’ve been making sour cream “dip” too. Just put a little sour cream in a small dish with a squeeze of lemon juice, then add a dash of salt and pepper, and stir. 

Garden Vegetable Fritters Recipe

Here’s everything you need to make our tasty garden vegetable fritters.

Add ingredients to a medium bowl, and stir well. Then, place paper towels over a large plate, and set aside.

Heat the olive oil in a large sauté pan on medium-high heat. Cook the fritters on both sides until they’re golden brown.

Place the fritters on the prepared plate to allow the excess grease to drip off, and season with salt and pepper, if you’d like.

These crispy garden vegetable fritters are best enjoyed right away, while they’re still hot. You can use sour cream or plain Greek yogurt for dipping.
