Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 200°F.
  2. Using a box grater, grate the zucchini on the diagonal in order to create long strands.
  3. In a bowl, combine the grated zucchini and 1 teaspoon salt, stir to combine, and allow to sit for at least 10 minutes to allow the zucchini to sweat and release excess water.
  4. Once complete, add the grated zucchini to a tea towel or cheesecloth and squeeze as much of the excess liquid out of the zucchini as possible. Use your muscles, the more water you can squeeze out the better texture your fritters will be!
  5. Add the strained zucchini to a bowl, add green onions, garlic, parmesan, flour, baking powder, pepper and egg, and stir to combine. (If you find the mixture very wet, add an extra sprinkle of flour until it starts to bind.)
  6. Heat olive oil or ghee in a skillet on medium-high heat, scoop 1/4 cup portion of the zucchini mixture into the pan, and gently press down so they are about 1/2″ thick.
  7. Fry each fritter for 3-4 minutes per side until golden brown, and then add it to a baking sheet and transfer to the oven to keep warm until all of the batter is complete.
  8. The zucchini fritters can be served immediately or stored in the fridge for up to 5 days.
