Total Time:25 minutes
Yield:4 servings
Ingredients
Zucchini Fritters
2 medium zucchinis (grated)
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1/4 cup green onions (chopped)
1 large egg
1 teaspoon garlic powder
Salt and pepper to taste
Olive oil for frying
Dipping Sauce (Optional)
Greek yogurt
Marinara sauce
Instructions
Prepare zucchini: Place the grated zucchini in a clean kitchen towel and squeeze out excess moisture to prevent soggy fritters.
Mix ingredients: In a bowl, combine the squeezed zucchini, flour, Parmesan cheese, chopped green onions, egg, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Mix until all ingredients are well incorporated.
Heat oil: Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat to prepare for frying.
Form fritters and fry: Drop spoonfuls of the zucchini mixture into the skillet and flatten them slightly with a spatula to form fritters.
Cook fritters: Cook each fritter for 3-4 minutes on each side or until they are golden brown and crispy.
Drain and serve: Remove fritters from the skillet and drain on paper towels to absorb excess oil. Serve warm with optional Greek yogurt or marinara sauce for dipping.
Notes
Squeezing out excess water from the zucchini is key to achieving crispy fritters.
You can substitute all-purpose flour with gluten-free flour if needed.
Parmesan cheese adds a savory flavor, but you may omit for a milder taste.
Cook fritters over medium heat to ensure they cook through without burning.
Serve fritters immediately for best texture; they can be kept warm in a low oven if necessary.
