Ingredients
  

  • 2 medium zucchinis
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 large egg
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh herbs such as dill, parsley, or chives
  • Olive oil for frying

Instructions
 

  • Now that you have the ingredients and tips for making perfect zucchini fritters, let's get started on the cooking process.
  • Begin by grating your zucchini into a large bowl. To remove excess moisture, sprinkle a little salt over the zucchini and let it sit for about 10 minutes.
  • Then, transfer the zucchini to a clean kitchen towel and squeeze out as much liquid as possible. This step is vital to guarantee your fritters are crispy, not soggy.
  • Next, whisk together the eggs in a separate bowl. Add flour, baking powder, and your choice of herbs and spices to the grated zucchini. Stir well to combine.
  • Gradually mix in the eggs until you have a thick batter. Heat a generous splash of oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat.
  • Use a spoon to drop dollops of batter into the hot oil, flattening each slightly with the back of the spoon.
  • Cook the fritters for about 3-4 minutes on each side or until they're golden and crisp.
  • Once cooked, place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil. Serve immediately while they're still hot and enjoy!
