Perfect for when you’re craving something light yet satisfying, or just trying to sneak some veggies into your diet without the side of guilt.

Ingredients

• 2 cups of grated zucchini (squeeze out the water, unless you’re into soggy fritters)
• 1 can of tuna, drained (because no one wants a swimming pool in their fritters)
• 1/2 cup of all-purpose flour (for that perfect crisp)
• 1 egg (the glue that holds our fritter dreams together)

• A squeeze of lemon juice (about half a lemon, unless you’re feeling extra zesty)
• A pinch of salt and pepper (because flavor is key)

Instructions

1. Grab that zucchini you grated and give it a good squeeze over the sink to remove excess water. Wet zucchini equals sad, soggy fritters.
2. In a mixing bowl, combine the zucchini, drained tuna, flour, and egg. Mix until it’s just combined – overmixing is the enemy of fluffy fritters.
3. Heat a splash of olive oil in a pan over medium heat. You’ll know it’s ready when a tiny bit of batter sizzles upon contact.
4. Drop spoonfuls of the mixture into the pan, flattening them slightly. Cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side or until they’re golden brown and crispy.

4. Fry for about 3-4 minutes on each side or until golden brown and crispy. Tip: If they’re browning too fast, your oil is too hot. Turn it down, you eager beaver.
