Tips and tricks
How long can I keep oven-baked zucchini fritters? You can keep them for 3-4 days in the refrigerator. Let them come to room temperature for a few minutes before serving, or warm them slightly in a 180°C (350°F) oven for 10 minutes. Can I freeze the zucchini fritters before cooking and cook them later? Yes, let them thaw completely before cooking to prevent them from releasing too much water. Can I fry the zucchini fritters? Yes, pour a drizzle of oil into a large frying pan and, once hot, add the zucchini fritters. If you cook them in a pan, we recommend making flat, patty-like balls for more even cooking. What can I use instead of mint for the zucchini fritters? You can use other aromatic herbs such as basil, thyme, cilantro, or parsley. Can I eat the zucchini fritters cold? Absolutely. They're also perfect as an appetizer! Can I reheat the zucchini fritters in the microwave? Yes, 30-40 seconds is all it takes!
