Notes
If you’re as big a soccer fan as I am, you’d know that there is always a match around the corner… this is the reason why it’s good to have some snacks around.
These zucchini fritters are a perfect appetizer to be shred during a soccer match with friends. They can be prepared in advance and heated on oven or microwave just before the match starts…
You can serve this fritters plain, or together with minted yoghurt or mayonnaise.
