Zucchini Pizza Fritters
Pizza is always a fun meal but sometimes you wish there were more vegetables your family would eat, enter the zucchini pizza fritters. They are packed with pizza flavor, super easy and fast to get together, gluten free, and have a lot of zucchini. They are crispy but you bake them in the oven so no frying splatter all over. Perfect to pack for lunches, appetizers for gatherings, and easy dinner with a salad on the side. They happen to be low carb as well and you can easily made it vegan and dairy free with plant-based cheese and pepperoni. My family loved these and wanted more. Perfect to make a big batch and freeze for future on the go meals. Just warm in the oven so they stay crispy. Serve with the Ranch Pizza Sauce that makes it even more delicious, everyone likes to dip things so it’s a no brainer.

This is all you need for these babies. So easy and I personally have all of these items on hand all the time.
It is super important to get as much liquid out of the zucchini as possible so they don’t get soggy patties. I like to shred it and place in a kitchen towel and pull it together and squeeze, I probably got close to a cup of zucchini water out of these!
Pop everything into a bowl
and mix! So easy
just look at all the goodness.
Grab your parchment covered sheet and drizzle or spray with oil. This will allow the fritters to “ fry” without making a mess.
I love using a scooper for these types of items but a measuring cup would also be a great way to portion the evenly.
And flatten with your hands to make little patties.
oil the tops and pop them into the oven.
While the fritters are in the oven, mix up your Ranch Pizza Sauce, three ingredients and it is so good. Serve room temp or warm.
I love that color and it satisfies red sauce lovers and ranch peeps.
