Ingredients

• 2 medium zucchini, grated
• 1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese
• 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 2 tablespoons fresh basil, chopped
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
• 2 large eggs
• Salt and black pepper, to taste
• Vegetable oil, for frying

Directions

1. Place the grated zucchini in a colander set over a bowl and sprinkle with salt. Let it sit for about 10 minutes to drain the excess moisture.
2. Using your hands, squeeze as much liquid as possible out of the zucchini.
3. In a large mixing bowl, combine the zucchini, grated parmesan cheese, all-purpose flour, minced garlic, chopped basil, chopped parsley, eggs, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until everything is evenly combined.
4. Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
5. Scoop the zucchini mixture onto the skillet, about 2 tablespoons per fritter. Flatten the mixture gently with a spoon to create a fritter shape.
6. Cook the fritters for about 3 minutes on each side until golden brown and crispy.
7. Remove the fritters from the skillet and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.
8. Repeat the process with the remaining zucchini mixture until all fritters are cooked.
9. Serve the zucchini-parmesan cheese fritters warm with your favorite dipping sauce.
