Method
 

Preparation
  1. Can I bake instead of frying?Yes—bake at 200 °C (390 °F) for 15–20 minutes, flipping once halfway through.
  2. Is this recipe gluten-free?Yes—if you use rice flour for both batter and breading.
  3. How do I prevent soggy fritters?Always drain the zucchini well after salting and pressing.
  4. What cheese works best?Mozzarella, cheddar, or gouda will melt nicely and add flavor.
  5. Can I skip the sesame seeds?Yes, or replace them with poppy or flax seeds for texture.
  6. How long does the sauce last?Store in the fridge for up to 3 days in an airtight container.
  7. Can I prepare the sauce ahead?Absolutely—make it in advance and keep chilled while frying.
  8. How do I keep fritters warm?Place them on a baking sheet in a 150 °C oven until ready to serve.
  9. Are these suitable for meal prep?Yes—you can refrigerate cooked fritters and reheat in the oven or air fryer.
  10. Can I double the recipe?Yes—just adjust frying time accordingly and cook in batches to maintain crispness.
