Ingredients
  

Main ingredients
  • 2 medium zucchinis, grated (about 2 cups)
  • 0.5 cup all-purpose flour Substitutions available for gluten-free
  • 0.25 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 large egg
  • 0.25 cup chopped green onions
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 0.5 teaspoon salt
  • 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
  • Olive oil for frying

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Start by grating the zucchinis. Be sure to drain any excess water by wrapping the grated zucchini in a clean kitchen towel and twisting it to squeeze out the moisture.
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine the drained zucchini, flour, Parmesan cheese, egg, green onions, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper. Stir well until all the ingredients are combined into a thick batter.
  3. In a large skillet, heat a generous amount of olive oil over medium heat.
Cooking
  1. Using a spoon, scoop out portions of the batter and place them in the heating oil, flattening them slightly with the back of the spoon. Fry in batches to avoid overcrowding.
  2. Cook for about 3-4 minutes per side, or until golden brown.
  3. Once cooked, remove the fritters from the skillet and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to absorb any excess oil.
Serving
  1. Serve your delicious Savory Zucchini Fritters hot, garnished with your choice of toppings!

Notes

If you'd like a gluten-free option, consider using almond flour instead of all-purpose flour. Timing is crucial when frying; ensure your oil is at the right temperature before adding the fritters. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to three days or freeze for up to three months. Reheat in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for 10-15 minutes.
