They only have a few ingredients and are fun and easy to make. They are just different enough to be unique, but familiar enough to make over and over. Give them a try today!Happy Labor Day!  I hope you are all having a fun and safe holiday weekend.  Did you get a chance to work out in your garden? I didn\u2019t, mostly because I don\u2019t have a garden this year\u2026but my neighbors did some work in their garden, and I got to reap some of their hard work rewards.They brought me over three large zucchinis and a bunch of tomatoes.  I have the best neighbors ever!  I love getting fresh produce \u2013 you can\u2019t beat a garden tomato, they are so dang tasty.  The zucchini also gave me a chance to do some experimenting in the kitchen, which is super fun for me (I know I am weird).I was thinking I wanted to make something savory with my zucchini since I don't eat very many sweets. Which is exactly what these fritters are\u2026a savory fritter made with simple, wholesome ingredients, and they are oh-so-good! It really is a great recipe for a snack or a way to sneak more veggies into your diet or your child's diet.They were so yummy in fact, that I ate some of the leftovers cold.  I was a little bit snacky one afternoon, so I looked in the refrigerator, saw the fritters and heard them calling my name, and I had to partake immediately \u2013 as in while I was standing in the doorway of the fridge.I'm trying not to snack lately, but they were calling my name, and they tasted so good, even when they were cold.  Plus they are jam-packed with shredded zucchini, so I figured it was better than eating handfuls of dark chocolate chips while browsing through the cupboards to find something to satisfy my snacking needs \u2013 not that I have ever done that :).One of the things that makes these healthy is that they use oven-baked zucchini instead of frying them in a pan, with all that related oily mess. Plus, when you cook them in the oven, it's less work than frying them, because you don't have to baby them nearly as much. I mean, these don't even have any oil in the recipe, not even olive oil. Instead, you just use baking sheets with parchment paper and you only have to flip and bake the zucchini once.Anyways, these fritters are super-simple to make, and will use up your zucchini in a hurry (one batch calls for an entire large zucchini) \u2013 which if you have zucchini coming out of your ears, that is probably a good thing! By large zucchini, I mean about two cups, not the kind that are as large as the top of a football players arm. . .I would love to know if you make these fritters and what you think of them and what you eat with them. Please comment below!FAQHow many calories are in a baked zucchini fritter? Since these are baked, it helps keeps the number of calories down to only about 36 calories per fritter so eat a few and don't worry about expanding your waistline!  Can you freeze zucchini fritters? Yes. They can freeze well. I've found the best way to freeze them is to freeze on a baking sheet or another flat surface, then transfer frozen disks to a freezer bag and seal well. Reheat on a baking sheet in a 325 oven until hot all the way through. So, these can be a perfect way to make lots of extra when zucchini is in abundance.  Is zucchini low in carbs? Yes! Zucchini itself only has 0.03 carbs per zucchini, so basically none. Plus, these fritters only have 2.18 carbs for the entire batch, which comes out to 0.27 carbs each - so they are perfect for any low carb or Keto diet.  Are zucchini Keto? Yes! They are a very common Keto vegetable and very versatile - take this recipe for example.  Can you shred zucchini and freeze it? Yes. If you don't want to make the entire fritters ahead of time and freeze them, an alternative would be to shred just the zucchini and freeze it. Just shred them with a box grater and put them in freezer bags in 2 cup portions and when you want to make this recipe, you'll save time and money.  How do I measure 3 ounces of goat cheese? I measure it a lot like butter. It generally comes in packages that look like logs. Keep in mind that there are 16 ounces in a pound, so I eyeball whatever the equivalent of 3 ounces is for that package. If you are really worried about it, you could get a small kitchen scale and double-check you got it correct. It's not one of those things you have to be super accurate about.  Can I substitute some other type of cheese in this recipe? You are welcome to try, but I haven't tested any other type of cheese and can't guarantee the results. However, if you do try another type and it works, please comment and let us all know what works so others can try it.
