Ingredients
  

  • 2 medium zucchini grated and drained
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/3 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 2 tablespoons scallions or chives chopped
  • 1/4 cup parmesan cheese grated

  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil for frying

Equipment

  • Colander

Method
 

  1. Grate zucchini and place in a colander. Sprinkle with salt and let sit for 10 minutes. Squeeze out excess moisture using a clean towel.
  2. In a large bowl, combine the drained zucchini, eggs, flour, garlic, scallions, parmesan, pepper, and a little more salt if needed.
  3. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Scoop 2 tablespoons of batter per fritter into the pan and flatten slightly.
  4. Cook each side for 3–4 minutes or until golden brown. Don’t overcrowd the pan—work in batches.
