Ingredients
- 2 medium zucchinis grated
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ cup all-purpose flour
- ¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese
- ¼ cup green onions chopped
- 2 large eggs
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- ¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes optional
- Olive oil for frying
Instructions
- Prepare the Zucchini: Grate the zucchinis and place them in a clean kitchen towel or cheesecloth. Squeeze out excess moisture to ensure the fritters are crispy.
- Mix Ingredients: In a bowl, combine the grated zucchini, salt, flour, Parmesan cheese, green onions, eggs, garlic, black pepper, and red pepper flakes. Mix until well combined.
- Heat Oil: In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. You want enough oil to cover the bottom of the skillet.
- Form Fritters: Scoop about 2 tablespoons of the zucchini mixture and form into patties. Carefully place them in the hot oil.
- Fry: Cook the fritters for about 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown and crispy. You may need to fry them in batches to avoid overcrowding the pan.
- Serve: Once cooked, transfer the fritters to a paper towel-lined plate to absorb excess oil. Serve warm with your choice of dipping sauce.
