Instructions
 

Grate the Zucchini

  • Grate zucchini using a box grater. Place it in a bowl and sprinkle with salt lightly.

Remove Extra Water

  • Wrap zucchini in a towel. Squeeze tightly to remove as much liquid as possible.

Prepare the Batter

  • Add eggs to the zucchini. Mix well until the eggs are fully combined.

Add Dry Ingredients

  • Add flour and baking powder. Stir gently until the mixture looks thick and smooth.

Add Flavorings

  • Add Parmesan cheese, green onions, garlic, and pepper. Mix everything evenly.

Heat the Pan

  • Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Make sure oil covers the pan bottom.

Shape the Fritters

  • Scoop batter into the pan. Flatten slightly with a spoon to form small fritters.

Cook the First Side

  • Cook fritters for three minutes. Wait until the bottom turns golden and crisp.

Flip Carefully

  • Flip each fritter gently. Cook the other side until golden and cooked through.

Drain Excess Oil

  • Remove fritters and place them on paper towels. This removes extra oil.

Garnish and Serve

  • Sprinkle fresh parsley on top. Serve warm for best taste and texture.

Notes

• Always squeeze zucchini very well
• Use medium heat for even cooking
• Add lemon zest for fresh flavor
• Use feta instead of Parmesan
• Add shredded carrots for color
• Make them gluten-free with almond flour
• Serve with yogurt or sour cream dip
