Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 1 medium zucchini
  • 1 large egg
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/8 teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil for frying

Equipment

  • Grater
  • Mixing Bowl
  • Frying Pan

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Grate the zucchini and place it in a colander. Sprinkle with a pinch of salt and let it sit for 10 minutes to draw out excess moisture.
  2. Firmly squeeze the grated zucchini to remove as much liquid as possible. This step is crucial for crispy fritters.
Mixing & Frying
  1. In a medium bowl, combine the squeezed zucchini, egg, flour, Parmesan cheese, salt, and pepper. Mix well until everything is evenly incorporated.
  2. Heat the vegetable oil in a large frying pan over medium heat. Drop spoonfuls of the zucchini mixture into the hot pan, flattening them slightly to form fritters.
  3. Cook for 3-4 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove the fritters from the pan and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.

Notes

For extra crispy fritters, ensure you squeeze out as much moisture as possible from the grated zucchini. Serve immediately with a dollop of sour cream or a sprinkle of fresh herbs.
