These turned out good. I think I'll add some hot sauce next time as it seemed like it needed an extra kick of something.

These were fantastic! My husband made them and added a few other spices, but they were so easy and delicious. We'll certainly make these over and over again. We topped them with a raita type dressing--plain yogurt, sour cream, garlic, cilantro, and a bit of green chili chutney mixed together. It had a spicy but cooling effect. Thanks, Barb!

This recipe is so good!!! I've made it twice in the last week and am waiting for more zucchini to grow so I can make it again! It didn't take the whole 40 minutes to make-and it's super easy. I love this recipe. Thanks Barb!

I love zucchini fritters, and this recipe was very good. It was mild, so I served with sour cream and a little hot sauce. I halved the recipe easily. Thank you Barb!
