One day I wanted to serve zucchini as a side dish&mdash;but I didn't have the time to slice and deep-fry it. So I came up with these fritters instead! They go especially well with barbecued ribs or pork chops and corn on the cob. I'm an avid recipe clipper. I've also assisted at our church's Wednesday night suppers, cooking for as many as 125 people.  &mdash;Mary Dixson, Catlin, Illinois

Zucchini Fritters

Vegetable oil

2% milk

egg,

all-purpose flour

baking powder

1-ounce package ranch-style dip mix

(8 ounces) shredded zucchini

Ranch dressing, optional

Irresistible! Adding a ranch season package is such a smart way to add all your seasoning that’s already balanced. Quick too! But, I added 1/4 cup shredding parmesan cheese and 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper to the batter. So good!!

No Zucchini.  No problem I had Success with Eggplant. Nice and light and puffy . I sautéed the eggplant just to soft stage before adding to the batter. I also added some oregano to the batter. And  sautéed the eggplant to a soft stage. Allowed it to cool before adding to the batter. Gave each fritter a good Parmesan dusting before serving.  Going to try Mushroom next. This is a keeper. Did I mention easy and quick.

Excellent.  Tasted like a restaurant appetizer.  Made homemade ranch to dip them in.

I made this last night & it was just awesome. I had another Taste of Home recipe that I had used for a long time but this was the best. I added some garlic & onion powder & dill & cooked them like pancakes. Wonderful!!!!!!!

We grow our own vegetables, which means we get an abundance of zucchini. This recipe  is really outstanding and so easy and quick to make. My Fiancé and I love them!  I give this recipe a 5 star for sure!

I didn't have any ranch style dip so I use the Italian one instead and it was very yummy!

I made these tonight with zucchini and yellow squash. I did not use the Ranch packet but did add grated onion, garlic salt and pepper. I also cooked them using a cast iron skillet with a shallow amount of oil. Instead of balls they came out more like zucchini cakes or patties, as intended. I made a creamy dill sauce that was drizzled over the fritters. They were perfect for Meatless Monday! I still have more batter left over and plan to make some more fritters in the morning with sunny side eggs.

This recipe is so great for that zucchini abundance. It tastes great and is a hit with my family!

I had tons of zucchini from the garden so I was looking for something to make. These were delicious, and I'm really not a great cook, but these were very simple to make. They were a big hit!

Not bad. I made the recipe as it was written. The ranch dip does add some good flavor, but to me they were a little soft and doughy'ish, despite frying them to golden brown. I also squeezed out all of the moisture from the zucchini in a tea towel, so that wasn't the issue. I think it needs a little less milk. I think that may help. I'll try it with less milk next time.

Excellent!!! These were so good--will definitely make again and share the recipe with all the gardeners I know!!!

These fritters were so good!  The ranch seasoning made them really good!

I have lots of zucchini from my garden so am always looking for zucchini recipes, I made this and it turned out pretty good, now, when I make it, I substitute the ranch dressing and use 1/2 pack of onion soup mix instead, and it is really good.

THE ONLY THING DIFFERENT I DID WAS ADD A HALF A PACKET OF LIPTON ONION MUSHROOM SOUP MIX, BECAUSE THAT'S ALL I HAD. HOPING IT WOULD TURN OUT GOOD, AS I MADE THE WHOLE BATCH. WELL IT WAS! MY KIDS AND THEIR FRIENDS LOVED IT. THEY DEMANDED I MAKE MORE. NEXT TIME I WILL DOUBLE THE BATCH AND TRY THE RANCH. THEY COULDN'T BELIEVE IT WAS MADE OUT OF ZUCCHINI!

Oops! Didnt know it went thru twice. Well they are good ;)

All I can say is yum! These are wonderful, and a very inventive way to use extra zucchini! I've also subbed coconut flour, about half the amount and made a gluten free version!

Very easy to make and my whole family loved them!

They puffed just as promised! Instead of the ranch dry, I added 1/4c of shredded parm, 1t of oregano and 1/2t salt. I also used more of a rounded tablespoon as opposed to teaspoon and served with ranch dressing as a dip. Very good.
