These crispy and flavorful zucchini fritters are a delicious way to enjoy summer’s bounty of zucchinis. They make a perfect appetizer or side dish for any meal.
Ingredients
- 2 medium zucchinis, grated
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 eggs, lightly beaten
- 2 tablespoons olive oil (for frying)
- Optional: sour cream or Greek yogurt for serving
Instructions
- Place the grated zucchini in a colander over the sink and sprinkle with salt. Let it sit for about 10 minutes to release excess moisture. Then, squeeze the zucchini to remove as much liquid as possible.
- In a large bowl, combine the grated zucchini, flour, Parmesan cheese, minced garlic, black pepper, and beaten eggs. Mix until well combined.
- Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
- Once the oil is hot, scoop about 1/4 cup of the zucchini mixture and place it in the skillet, flattening it slightly with a spatula to form a fritter.
- Cook the fritters for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy.
- Transfer the cooked fritters to a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.
- Repeat the process with the remaining zucchini mixture, adding more oil to the skillet as needed.
- Serve the zucchini fritters hot with sour cream or Greek yogurt on the side for dipping, if desired.
- Enjoy your delicious and savory zucchini fritters!
