Ingredients
- 2 medium zucchinis, grated
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/4 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 large eggs, beaten
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- Tangy dipping sauce, for serving
Directions
- Place the grated zucchini in a colander and sprinkle with salt. Let it sit for 10 minutes to extract excess moisture. Then, squeeze out any remaining liquid using a clean kitchen towel.
- In a large bowl, combine the grated zucchini, flour, Parmesan cheese, mozzarella cheese, parsley, garlic, black pepper, and beaten eggs. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly incorporated.
- Heat the olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat.
- Drop spoonfuls of the zucchini mixture into the hot skillet, flattening them slightly with the back of the spoon to form fritters. Cook for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy.
- Remove the fritters from the skillet and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
- Serve the zucchini fritters hot with a tangy dipping sauce of your choice. They are great on their own or as a side dish with grilled meats or roasted vegetables.
- Enjoy!
