Fritters are one of my favourite lunch or light dinner options, and these cheesy zucchini fritters are no exception. The addition of grated cheese to the batter makes for one delicious fritter recipe.

The wonderful thing about fritters is that you can easily add anything to the batter. If you don’t have zucchini on hand you could substitute it for whatever vegetables are in your fridge. Grated carrot and corn, either fresh or canned, work perfectly.
