Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 2 medium Zucchini grated and squeezed dry
  • 0.5 cup All-purpose flour
  • 1 large Egg
  • 0.25 cup Parmesan cheese grated
  • 0.5 teaspoon Salt
  • 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
  • 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil for frying

Equipment

  • Colander
  • Large bowl
  • Clean kitchen towel
  • Skillet

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Grate the zucchini and place it in a colander, then sprinkle with salt and let it sit for 10 minutes to draw out excess moisture. Squeeze out as much liquid as possible from the zucchini using a clean kitchen towel.
  2. In a large bowl, combine the squeezed zucchini, flour, egg, grated Parmesan cheese, salt, and black pepper. Mix thoroughly until all ingredients are well combined.
Cooking
  1. Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once the oil is hot, drop spoonfuls of the zucchini mixture into the skillet, forming small, flat fritters.
  2. Cook the fritters for 3-5 minutes per side, or until they are golden brown and crispy, then remove them from the skillet and place on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
Serving
  1. Serve the zucchini fritters warm, optionally with a dollop of sour cream or a sprinkle of fresh herbs.

Notes

For extra flavor, you can add minced garlic or chopped fresh dill to the zucchini mixture. These fritters are best served immediately, but leftovers can be reheated in a toaster oven for crispness.
