Ingredients :

2 cups grated zucchini (squeezed dry)
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese
1 large egg, beaten
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 tablespoons chopped scallions
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
2 tablespoons olive oil for frying

Method :

1. Place grated zucchini in a colander and sprinkle with salt. Let sit for 10 minutes then squeeze out all excess moisture using a clean kitchen towel.
2. In a large bowl, combine the dried zucchini, flour, parmesan, egg, garlic, scallions, and pepper. Mix until well combined.
3. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
4. Scoop 2 tablespoons of the mixture into the pan and flatten slightly with a spatula.
5. Cook for 2-3 minutes per side until golden brown and crispy.
6. Serve immediately with a side of yogurt or sour cream.

Recipe Notes :

Chef Tip: The secret to extra crispy fritters is squeezing out as much water as possible from the zucchini before mixing. Variation: Make it spicy by adding 1/2 teaspoon of red chili flakes or a diced jalapeño to the batter. Storage: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days; reheat in a pan or air fryer to maintain crispiness.
