Ingredients
Scale
Zucchini Mixture
- 2 medium zucchinis, grated
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 large egg
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/4 cup chopped green onions
For Frying
- Oil for frying (about 1/4 cup or as needed)
Instructions
- Prepare Zucchinis: Grate the zucchinis and sprinkle them with salt. Let the salted zucchini sit for 10 minutes to draw out excess moisture.
- Remove Moisture: Squeeze out the excess liquid from the grated zucchinis thoroughly to ensure the fritters will be crispy and not soggy.
- Mix Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, combine the drained zucchini, all-purpose flour, grated Parmesan cheese, egg, black pepper, and chopped green onions. Stir until well incorporated into a batter.
- Heat Oil: Pour oil into a frying pan and heat over medium heat until hot but not smoking, ready for frying.
- Form and Fry Fritters: Drop spoonfuls of the zucchini mixture into the hot oil, gently flattening each to form small patties. Fry for about 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown and crispy.
- Drain Fritters: Remove the fritters from the pan and place them onto paper towels to drain any excess oil before serving.
Notes
- Be sure to squeeze out as much moisture as possible from the zucchini to maintain crispiness.
- Use medium heat to prevent burning while ensuring the fritters cook through.
- Try serving with a dollop of sour cream or your favorite dipping sauce for added flavor.
- Grating zucchinis finely helps the fritters bind better and cook evenly.
