I'm not saying I'm a zucchini hater, but this is the one and only zucchini recipe I've ever devoted myself to, and I did in the name of fritters. That said, trying to love zucchini is like forcing yourself to finish a very long, boring book that everyone is raving about . . .
so you keep plodding away, even though you aren’t into it. My feelings about zucchini are on public record:
They’re basically water in vegetable form. Ironically, I love love LOVE zucchini fritters, but in order for them
to get crunchy, you need to coax out as much liquid from them as possible. That happens in stages here: first by salting
and squeezing; then by cooking over moderately high heat to force evaporation; and finally by drying out
the fritters in the oven after they’re fried. If you want to love zucchini, you have to put in the time.
This recipe is from my book, That Sounds So Good!

I love when Carla says "I made this decision, and I will tell you why" and then tells us why.

@tpn1110 Год назад

I’ve been making Sohla’s zucchini lentil fritters (crispy town USA to the max) and now I’m so excited to try your version Carla!!

@devonflarity4041 Год назад

“you feel it go from sturdy to floppy, the cycle of life frankly.” love you carla lmao

@wendytube007 Год назад

Oh my God Carla representing Gen X in all its honesty. Everybody’s recipe mantra should be Hey you never know, f*** around and find out. 😂

@heatherjefferies3159 Год назад

Carla, I am pregnant for the second time and hit TERRIBLE morning sickness to the point where even thinking about food made me nauseous. I am now out of the first trimester and I am celebrating with binging the last 3 months of your videos. Thank you for bringing joy into my life.

Collab with Claire Saffitz, when? A “dessert person x where cooking begins” crossover would be amazing

@roryhamilton513 Год назад

“Sqozen” 😂😂😂 I made these (from the book) a couple of months ago. They were awesome. Even my mom liked them, and she hates everything.

@galyarecords8055 Год назад

Made these today, and finally, after all these years I got gorgeous fritters, thanks Carla 🧡

@pugglelover135 Год назад

The crunch at the beginning 😭 Slay video once again, Carla 💖✨️

@mitchellleus2711 Год назад

This is very similar to a Filipino dish called okoy, which also includes shrimp and is served with a vinegar sauce :)

@secondconflict570 Год назад

those sound delicious! just looked up a recipe and will try them out. thanks!

@llamapie24 Год назад

This is just delightful content that’s not only great for mental health but also makes you a better cook. Love your work Carla.

@s.m4952 Год назад

These look so good! I’ve never tried making them so I’m going to use this recipe

@Corobik Год назад

These look amazing! Have to try them

@meredithcalcott6714 Год назад

Can't wait to make these! I love how you walk us through your thought processes and changes you make while recipe testing, so informative :) Also, would love to know what pepper mill that is!

@nlus9912 Год назад

Hi! just wanted to say, amazing recipe and video. Also, I was captivated by your nails, they look so cool!

@Reinolds_Recipes Год назад

You are a great chef! Would love to try this :) keep sharing my friend… I’m subscribed! 😀

@matthewtoohey4103 Год назад

I loved the way you emphasised the H in 'whisked' at 7:30, Carla. Another achievable recipe, with every choice you've made well explained. Can't wait to try this recipe! Thanks! 👍

@harvestmoon_autumnsky Год назад

I noticed that too, bizarre to find it in a comment. It was a Julia Child moment.

@tylarrrr11 Год назад

I love this channel and Carla so much

@_FearNoEvil Год назад

Those looked great. I appreciate that they were predominantly shaped by the veggie and not by a ton of batter.

@fooolishgamess Год назад

Just in time for lunch! Thank you Carla!

@sixbadseeds Год назад

Carla this recipe looks delightful, I'm definitely going to try it, but what I really appreciated about this video was the pep talk at the end about fritters and mortality.

@dajavous Год назад

This looks so good!

@TheDuckofLaw Год назад

Always have too much zucchini - this is a great idea to use more of it! thanks, Carla!

I need to try this!

@theouthousepoet Год назад

Oh man I can’t wait to try this! I love zucchini. I love it every every way too!: large, floppy, oozing, curvy, whatever! Just put it in my mouth! This crispiness looks divine. I’m making this tonight!

@secondconflict570 Год назад

😅

@lunaspook4370 Год назад

love u Carla i started slicing my garlic instead of roughly chopping it because of u

@mannagrynet Год назад

I love zucchini fritters! I often make pakoras with zucchini (and lots of onions), and cutting strips rather than grating really improves the texture. Going to have to try this recipe :D

@richardwallace6313 Год назад

add some diced chilies to those pakoras! but onions definitely are a great addition, kind of like getting onion rings for free with your pakoras.

@LifeWithBarbaraEstelle Год назад

I love Carla and all of her videos. I do wish someone on her team could post the names or links to the dishes she uses. She always has the most gorgeous bowls, plates, and spoons.

@streterttrrttrr356 Год назад

Today you looked extra gorgeous, the lipstick suits you so much. Thanks for another great recipe !

@jml4774 Год назад

I love zucchini fritters, but I load my up with corn, fresh off the cob. Delicious.

@lishaalmeida Год назад

I just made your cooked-to-death zucchini pasta sauce this week! Excited to try another Carla-tries-to-like-zucchini recipe :D

@kravidz6373 Год назад

i would literally die for these right now

@jazoncorazon Год назад

Love this! Do you have nutritional info for this recipe?

@katied.120 Год назад

omg the Time Crisis shoutout!!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️

@kaytaylor3721 Год назад

I make a corn/zucchini fritter that is wonderful. I will probably try this. Maybe . . .

@nicoleives1442 Год назад

Carla, you have such a wonderful sense of humor and outlook on life/cooking! I love your nuggets of funny/true wisdom. "From sturdy to floppy, that's the cycle of life" PS is there a way to make this recipe gluten-free?

@virginiaf.5764 Год назад

Hi Carla. I'm wondering if those pale green Mexican squash (calabacitas) have less water because they're much firmer than zucchini? I know they're great for stuffing.

@kapmando Год назад

Carla has baudy aunt vibes, and I’m here for it.

@matt_mcneill Год назад

A perfect recipe for the 17 zucchini’s I have in my garden

@dtpugliese318 Год назад

I always remove the seeds when I cook zucchini or summer squash, that does the trick for me removing most of the water in them. I’m not sure if this is a viable option generally.

@adk1100 Год назад

I love all the innuendos 😂

I'm with Carla: SUMMER FOREVER!

@insulaarachnid Год назад

Yummy!

@lax2711 Год назад

Americans and American grocery stores also tend to harvest Zucchinis very late, which is why they're often water logged and ripe. If you grow them yourself (which is extremely easy), harvest them when the fruit is the same length as the flower, they're soft, starchy and delicious that way.

@kb2023 Год назад

Instrad of cutting into matchsticks w a knife, you can also use mandolin w a julienning attachment or a spiralizer

@abcdefghijklmnop4415 Год назад

What about a little spiralizer action instead of cutting into match sticks to avoid all the cutting?? Or would they release too much water and be sad sad wet blankets at the end?

@FaeRae-333 Год назад

She HAD me at “death and decay is right around the corner.”

@flockofflamingos Год назад

We made stuffed zucchini boats the other day so I tried this recipe with the leftover zucchini guts (as it were) to not waste perfectly good food, also threw in leftover diced onion, but otherwise followed the recipe (with corn instead of potato starch) and they came out PERFECT. Crispy and full of flavor. Then I horribly overcooked my turkey burgers thanks to my thermometer being on Celsius instead of Fahrenheit. Ain't that just the way with cooking 😂

@fulfordpoint Год назад

Can you use a salad spinner to draw out the liquid? It seems like it would be an alternative to save the wrists.

@bryanmcwhirter9945 Год назад

Hello Carla, why not use a potato ricer lined with cheese cloth in batches.? Not just for potatoes. Thankyou Carla, love you're vids. Bryan from Canada.

@CarlaLalliMusic123 Год назад

Cool idea!

@kbcreative23 Год назад

what is that brand of pepper grinder? I need one with a little catch compartment like that.

@lew1776 Год назад

Carla you have been a huge inspiration I think I lost a lot of weight enjoying cooking real food and how you go about your kitchen reminds me of my home relaxed but timed

@Kazeykc Год назад

Haha lol death and decay is precisely my thoughts thanks for this video

@davidcunningham6525 Год назад

I made these a while ago and they are fantastic, but an incredible amount of work, so I will probable never make them again. But what I did find out is that the same basic method makes really good hashbrowns, but they are easier because you don't have to squeeze out the water from the potatoes, and I have a mandolin that does matchsticks. I replace the basil and spices with pepper and sage; delicious and I don't have to use a vegetable I don't really like. Like Carla said "f**k around and find out".

@OnTheBlush Год назад

I’m never going to make these, but wil order them at a restaurant 💁🏻‍♀️

@rileylawson9958 Год назад

What egg replacement do you recommend? :)

@mryan1982 3 месяца назад

Can you please let me know what brand that pepper mill is ?

@noalarisch1815 Год назад

hi Carla you can grate the zucchini and press the water out with a Colander or a cheesecloth it's much easier than cut to matchsticks

@hazeldunaway3990 Год назад

I call this month, pre October

@santamuri Год назад

could a mandolin simplify the matchstick step? or would that dewater the zucchini too?

@b3z3jm3nny Год назад

The video said you could do a mandolin first and then slice for matchsticks

@peterwaltz8148 Год назад

Carla, just one thing...call MIZ CRACKER! Have her over for lunch, please!?

@kaemincha Год назад

not to be cliché but "that sounds so good"!!!!!!!!

@Jhetx Год назад

Hate Zucchini, well not hate (love the flavour) but every usually puts in a stew and then it becomes mush so definitely trying this.

@adamaenosh6728 Год назад

Yellow zucchini are so superior to green zucchini that words cannot even express how superior they are

@dolphinately Год назад

Long live Crispy town!

@JeacoMeiyin Год назад

Alternatively; immediately think about actual fall. Just in your brain skip that whole messy bit of summer/fall transition. That being said, I might have to give these courgette fritters a try, cause they look so scrumptious!

@joanwibberley5302 Год назад

keep frittering ! Yes !

@secondconflict570 Год назад

Oh and side note, they're all summer squash! Zucchini is yellow or green, (or green with light green stripes in the case of costata romanesco) and straight. Crookneck (often called/labeled "summer squash") are pale yellow, slightly bumpy, and have, you guessed it, a hooked neck. Crookneck have a slightly different texture, but flavor wise they're about the same.

@OSheaDean Год назад

No on the grater... but could a spiralizer work here? 😊

@CarlaLalliMusic123 Год назад

Yes that’s worth a try!

@chtobin Год назад

Please consider affiliate links for everything you use in these videos. I want to buy THAT fish spatula and I’ve tried to figure out which mauviel sauté pan that is… but don’t know for sure which to buy. Take my money!!!!

Carla you said my "moist"-equivalent trigger word .... F L E S H 😱😱😱😱 I actually have no problem with moist but EW FLESH 🤣🤣☠☠

@crazzee247 Год назад

ahhh, the good ole' potato starch. when in doubt, look to asia...they know what's up.

@jean-francoisdaignault9612 Год назад

This recipe reminds me of Miz Cracker making latkes with Carla on the BA RU-vid channel. Carla! Please have Miz Cracker over to cook with you on your channel!!!

What's her pepper grinder?

@tabathaogost4982 10 месяцев назад

And last, yes, that's exactly it Carla, I could not have said it better myself. Back to school, the time that I am writing this comment, does indeed mean Deah and Decay, and Depression. Around.The.Corner. Fritters help me.

@danielpomper9359 Год назад

4:42 😳

@rachs57 Год назад

I followed this fritter recipe To The Letter, so let me save you some time...they remain limp with little crunch, even after oven residency. What I'm learning is, even if you publish a colorful charming cookbook, it doesn't mean much. You can have a great smile, talk a great story, but sometimes a recipe just does not work, and this is one of those. Since I made a batch plus the lemon yogurt dip, I am eating my limp zucchini fritters. Choose your chefs carefully is all I'll say...and I generally admire Carla, but tread carefully, food is too expensive to just hope a recipe will work.

@harvestmoon_autumnsky Год назад

But what if I hate summer and adore autumn? Which I do. Don't knock Autumn, it's the best time of the year. Time for us to get cozy, get out the blankets, pumpkins and cider, colder weather, thank goodness. Overcast days, misty morning. Sigh. I freaking can't wait. It's so hot here in California. I want summer to be OVER.

@derekkee5588 Год назад

I HATE zucchini more than any other food in the world, but the thumbnail convinced me…and within the first minute, I remembered exactly why I love and trust this woman

@tf7831 Год назад

Girl, you are my hero but I hate zucchini. Just started watching, but I’m starting with little faith on this one. Damn watery ass veg….okay, let’s roll.

@tf7831 Год назад

Okay, f*^k around and find out and adding potatoes? Now we’re talking. Who was I kidding to doubt the QUEEN? I’d eat this for sure.

CARLA yo cut that zucc in half before planking it- I do matchsticks for summer rolls a lot and it is, actually, hell to plank cylindrical veg without cutting it in half first
