Serve them hot with a tangy dipping sauce to add an extra kick to this versatile dish. This recipe can be made within 30 minutes and is perfect for summer parties and gatherings.

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

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. Heat the olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat.
  4. 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.
  5. Remove the fritters from the skillet and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
  6. 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.
  7. Enjoy!
