Ingredients
Scale
- 2 medium zucchinis, grated (about 2 cups)
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 large eggs, lightly beaten
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh parsley
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/4 cup olive oil, for frying
- sour cream or Greek yogurt for serving
Instructions
- Grate the zucchini using the large holes of a box grater. Place the grated zucchini in a colander set over a bowl and toss it with the teaspoon of salt. Let it sit for 10 minutes. After 10 minutes, use your hands to squeeze the zucchini vigorously over the sink until it’s as dry as you can get it.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the squeezed-dry zucchini, beaten eggs, flour, Parmesan cheese, minced garlic, parsley, and black pepper. Mix everything together until just combined.
- Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once the oil is shimmering, drop heaping tablespoons of the zucchini mixture into the skillet. Gently flatten each one with the back of your spoon to form a patty. Cook for 2-3 minutes per side, until they are deeply golden brown and crisp. Work in batches to avoid overcrowding the pan. Transfer the cooked fritters to a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.
- Serve your crispy zucchini fritters warm with a dollop of cool sour cream or Greek yogurt on top.
