Can I bake these instead of frying?

Absolutely! For a lighter version, bake at 400°F on a parchment-lined sheet for about 15 minutes per side. They won't get quite as crispy, but still delicious. Spritz with oil first for better browning.

Can I freeze zucchini fritters?

You bet! Freeze them flat on a baking sheet first, then transfer to bags. Reheat straight from frozen in a 375°F oven for 10-12 minutes. The texture changes slightly, but still totally worth it when zucchini cravings hit!

Why are my fritters falling apart?

Oh no! Usually means either not enough egg/flour as binder OR (most likely) you didn't squeeze enough water from the zucchini. Next time, really wring it out like you're mad at it!

Can I use gluten-free flour?

Yes! I've had great success with almond flour or a gluten-free blend. Just add a bit at a time - sometimes GF flours absorb moisture differently. The batter should hold together when pressed.

What's the best dipping sauce?

My personal favorite is Greek yogurt mixed with lemon zest and garlic. But honestly? They're amazing with anything from ranch to sweet chili sauce. Get creative!
