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

Steps:

• Place grated squash in a colander and squeeze out all excess water; you should have about 1 cup grated squash. Transfer squash to a bowl. Add onion, flour, egg, baking powder, and salt and stir batter together.
• Melt butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Drop batter into the hot pan and use the back of a large spoon to flatten fritters to 3 to 4 inches in diameter and to 1/4- to 1/8-inch thickness. Cook until edges are deep brown, about 1 minute. Flip over and cook 30 seconds more. Transfer fritters to a plate lined with a paper towel and sprinkle lightly with salt. Repeat with remaining batter, melting more butter in the pan as needed.
• Serve warm topped with Cheddar cheese, onion, and sour cream.

YELLOW SQUASH FRITTERS

Steps:

• Shred the squash in your food processor using the shredding attachment. Place on clean towels and allow to drain for 10 minutes. You can also grate the squash by hand.
• Finely chop the onion. Place it in a colander to drain for 10 minutes.
• Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium heat for about 5 minutes.
• In a medium bowl, whisk the egg with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Add the grated squash and the onion and mix to blend.
• Brush the skillet with half of the butter. Measuring 1/4 cup per fritter, spoon the mixture onto the skillet. Fry without moving for 4-5 minutes, until you can see that the bottoms are browned.
• Carefully flip to the other side and fry for 4-5 more minutes, until browned on both sides. Brush the skillet with more butter and repeat with the remaining squash mixture.

• Preheat vegetable oil at one inch depth in a heavy skillet on medium heat.
• Combine cooked squash, beaten egg, flour, pepper and salt.
• Add Parmesan cheese.
• Drop squash mixture by tablespoonsful into the hot oil.

ZUCCHINI OR SUMMER SQUASH FRITTERS

Steps:

• 1. If planning to serve as soon as they're done, preheat oven to 250 degrees. Have a baking sheet lined with paper towels ready.
• 2. Trim ends off zucchini and grate them either on the large holes of a box grater or, if you have one, using the shredding blade of a food processor.
• 3. In a large bowl, toss zucchini with 1 teaspoon coarse salt and set aside for 10 minutes.
• 4. Wring out the zucchini in one of the following ways: pressing it against the holes of a colander with a wooden spoon to extract the water, squeezing out small handfuls at a time, or wrapping it up in a clean dishtowel or piece of cheesecloth and wringing away.
• 5. Return deflated mass of zucchini shreds to bowl. Taste and if you think it could benefit from more salt add a little bit more. Stir in onion, egg, flour, and some freshly ground black pepper.
• 6. In a large heavy skillet, heat 2-3 tablespoons of oil over medium-high heat until shimmering. Drop small bunches of the zucchini mixture onto the skillet only a few at a time so they don't become crowded and lightly nudge them flatter with the back of your spatula.
• 7. Cook the fritters over moderately high heat until the edges underneath are golden, about 3 to 4 minutes. Flip the fritters and fry them on the other side until browned underneath again, about 2 to 3 minutes more.
• 8. Drain briefly on paper towels then transfer to the baking sheet.
• 9. Then place into the warm oven until needed. Repeat the process, keeping the pan well-oiled, with remaining batter.
• 10. Cook's Note: I like to make sure that the fritters have at least 10 minutes in the oven to finish setting and getting extra crisp.
• 11. Do ahead: (This is the best part!) These fritters keep well, either chilled in the fridge for the better part of a week and or frozen in a well-sealed package for months. When you're ready to use them, simply spread them out on a tray in a 325 degree oven until they're hot and crisp again.

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.

SUMMER SQUASH FRITTERS: KOLOKETHOKEFTAIDE

Steps:

• In a large saute pan, heat 1/2 cup olive oil on medium high heat. Sweat the squash and the onion together until very soft.
• In a food processor, puree the squash mixture. Drain well to get out extra moisture. Put in a bowl with cheese, butter, bread crumbs, eggs, scallions, thyme, salt, and pepper. Mix well. Let it stand for 1 hour, refrigerated.
• Roll into about 2-inch balls. Lightly dredge in the flour and fry in the remaining olive oil and butter until golden brown.

15 ESSENTIAL ZUCCHINI RECIPES: ZUCCHINI PARMESAN

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 450ºF (convection roast if you have it). Line two baking sheets - I love these extra-large baking sheets for this - with parchment (for easy cleanup). In a very large bowl (or two large bowls if you don't have an extra-large one), dress the squash with 1/4 cup olive oil and salt to taste - be generous. Season with pepper to taste as well. Toss well - the slices should feel evenly oiled.
• Transfer the seasoned squash to each of the prepared sheet pans and spread in an even layer - it's OK if some of the squash are overlapping. Transfer the pans to the oven, and bake until the slices are beginning to brown, 15 to 20 minutes. Rotate the pans. Bake for 10 to 15 more minutes or until most of the slices are golden - it's very likely that one of the squash will look completely done and some will look like they need more time. This is fine - the goal with the roasting is mostly to remove moisture so that the finished casserole is not watery. Remove pans from the oven and set aside. Reduce oven temperature to 400 degrees.
• Meanwhile, toss the 2 cups bread crumbs with 1/3 cup of the grated parmesan cheese, 1/4 cup olive oil, and salt and pepper to taste. Set aside.
• Into a 9×13-inch baking dish, spoon a small amount of sauce (about 1/2 cup), then a single layer of roasted squash, then a thin layer of parmesan. Repeat the layering until all of the squash and cheese has been used, ending with a little sauce. Top with the bread crumb mixture.
• Bake until the squash mixture is bubbly and the top is golden, 25 minutes or so depending on size of pan and thickness of layers. Remove from heat and allow to rest for 5 minutes before serving. This can also be made ahead and reheated.

ZUCCHINI AND SUMMER SQUASH FRITTERS RECIPE

Steps:

• I used a mandolin and shredded zucchini and summer squash until I had about 1 1/2 cups. I placed the shredded veggies into a medium mixing bowl and grated my red onion on top.
• For the oats, I wanted them a little finer than they come so I put them in my Ninja for a few seconds to make them more like a fine bread crumb. Add 1 cup of the ground oats and 1/2 cup of Parmesan cheese to the veggies.
• Stir well with a spatula to combine.
• Next, whisk 2 eggs well and add to the mixture.
• Stir the egg in, making sure the consistency is good for making patties. It should be sticky and thick.
• Heat a large skillet with oil. Form the mixture into 1/4 cup balls and flatten before placing in the skillet. Cook over medium/high heat until golden brown on each side, about 4 minutes each side.
• Remove from the skillet and serve hot. My family loves these with sweet chili sauce and I like them with a creamy, lime ranch dip! They make a great side or even a replacement for a burger patty!
