Zucchini Fritters

Ingredients
  

  • 2 medium zucchinis grated
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • ¼ cup chopped green onions or chives
  • 1 garlic clove minced
  • 1 egg lightly beaten
  • ¼ cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese optional
  • Black pepper to taste
  • Olive oil for frying

Method
 

  1. Grate the zucchini and place it in a bowl. Sprinkle with salt and let it sit for 10 minutes to draw out the moisture.
  2. Using a clean kitchen towel or paper towel, squeeze out as much liquid as possible. This step is important for crispy fritters.
  3. In a large bowl, combine the drained zucchini, green onions, garlic, egg, flour, Parmesan, and pepper. Mix until evenly combined.
  4. Heat a thin layer of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Scoop small portions of the mixture into the pan and flatten them slightly with a spatula.
  5. Cook each fritter for about 3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and crisp. Transfer to a paper towel to remove excess oil.
  6. Serve warm with a spoonful of Greek yogurt, sour cream, or lemon wedges.
