Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 3 cups zucchini, grated packed; squeeze out excess moisture
- 2 large eggs
- 0.5 cups all-purpose flour
- 0.25 cups grated Parmesan cheese
- 0.25 cups chopped green onions
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 0.5 teaspoons baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons kosher salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
- 2 tablespoons olive oil for pan-frying
Instructions
Preparation Steps
- Place the grated zucchini in a clean kitchen towel and squeeze firmly to remove as much liquid as possible.
- In a large bowl, whisk the eggs. Add the squeezed zucchini and stir to coat.
- Add flour, Parmesan, green onions, garlic, baking powder, salt, and black pepper. Fold until a thick, spoonable batter forms.
- Heat olive oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Scoop about 0.25 cup of batter per fritter and gently flatten to 0.5-inch thickness.
- Cook until deep golden and crisp, about 3 to 4 minutes per side. Transfer to a paper towel–lined plate and repeat with remaining batter.
- Serve warm with lemon wedges or a dollop of sour cream or yogurt, if desired.
Notes
For extra crispiness, make sure the zucchini is very dry before mixing. Keep cooked fritters warm in a 200°F oven while finishing the batch. Add a pinch of red pepper flakes for heat or a little lemon zest for brightness.
