Equipment
- Box Grater (or Food Processor)
- Large Bowl
- Non-Stick Skillet
Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 2 medium zucchini
- 0.5 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 large egg
- 0.25 cup Parmesan cheese grated
- 0.5 tsp garlic powder
- 0.25 tsp salt
- 0.125 tsp black pepper freshly ground
Frying
- 2 tbsp vegetable oil
Instructions
Preparation
- Grate the zucchinis using a box grater or food processor, then place them in a colander and sprinkle with salt. Let the zucchini sit for 10 minutes to drain excess water, then squeeze out as much liquid as possible with paper towels or a cheesecloth.
- In a large bowl, combine the squeezed zucchini with flour, egg, grated Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix until all ingredients are well combined and form a thick batter.
Cooking
- Heat vegetable oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat. Once hot, drop spoonfuls of the zucchini mixture into the skillet, flattening each to form a fritter about 3-inch wide.
- Cook the fritters for 3-4 minutes per side, until golden brown and crispy. Ensure they are fully cooked through.
- Remove the cooked fritters from the skillet and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to absorb any excess oil. Serve immediately as desired.
Notes
These fritters are best served warm. You can also add fresh herbs like dill or parsley to the batter for extra flavor.
