To make low-oil, low-flour baked zucchini fritters, grate the zucchini and squeeze out as much liquid as possible. Mix it with egg, a little flour and herbs, spread the mixture on a lined tray, and bake until set and golden.
Low-oil, low-flour baked zucchini fritters usually turn soggy because the grated zucchini releases too much water. Squeeze it thoroughly before mixing, and avoid piling the mixture thickly on the tray so moisture can escape as it bakes.
For crispier low-oil, low-flour baked zucchini fritters, remove as much moisture from the zucchini as you can and spread the mixture in a thin layer. Bake on a preheated tray with space between portions rather than crowding them together.
Low-oil, low-flour baked zucchini fritters are usually made with grated zucchini, egg and a small amount of flour. Dill, scallions and black pepper are common additions; cheese is optional, but taste the mixture before adding salt.
Low-oil, low-flour baked zucchini fritters cook on a tray instead of in a pan of oil, so they generally need less added oil. Fried fritters tend to have a crisper, oilier exterior, while baked ones depend especially on well-drained zucchini.
Low-oil, low-flour baked zucchini fritters pair well with plain or garlic yogurt, a fresh salad, or soup. For a fuller meal, serve them with a grain or beans; as a snack, yogurt dip is an easy accompaniment.
Yes, you can make low-oil, low-flour baked zucchini fritters ahead and refrigerate them once they have cooled. Reheat them in the oven or a pan to revive the outside; a microwave is quicker but can make them softer.
Yes, low-oil, low-flour baked zucchini fritters can be frozen after cooling. Freeze the portions separately before packing them together to prevent sticking; thaw and reheat in the oven, keeping in mind that the texture may be softer.
Yes, you can replace the flour in low-oil, low-flour baked zucchini fritters with oat flour or cornmeal. Add it gradually because different substitutes absorb moisture differently, and make sure the squeezed zucchini mixture holds together before baking.
Low-oil, low-flour baked zucchini fritters can be part of a balanced meal, especially when served with yogurt and a salad. Baking keeps them lighter than deep-fried fritters, but adding cheese or serving them with rich sauces changes the overall meal.

Low-Oil, Low-Flour Baked Zucchini Fritter is a baked take on Turkish mücver, made with grated zucchini, egg, a little flour and often herbs such as dill or spring onion. Some home recipes include cheese, while the oven method uses less oil than pan-frying.
In Turkey, mücver is served warm or cold as a meze, a light meal or a side, often with yogurt. This version is vegetable-forward and relatively light; it provides 4.8 g of protein per 100 g. Squeeze excess liquid from the grated zucchini before mixing so the fritters hold together, and serve with plain or garlicky yogurt.
High
How many vitamins, minerals and how much fiber this food carries per calorie. A high score means a lot of nutrition for few calories.
