- 2 cups grated zucchini, squeezed dry
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 large egg, beaten
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/8 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons olive oil, for cooking
- In a medium bowl, combine the grated zucchini, flour, beaten egg, Parmesan cheese, salt, and pepper. Mix until just combined.
- Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
- Drop spoonfuls of the zucchini mixture into the hot skillet, flattening them slightly with the back of the spoon to form patties.
- Cook for 3-4 minutes per side, until golden brown and crispy.
- Remove the fritters from the skillet and drain on paper towels.
- Serve immediately.
Notes
- For extra crispy fritters, ensure you squeeze as much moisture as possible from the grated zucchini.
- These fritters can be made ahead and reheated in an oven or air fryer for best results.
- To freeze, place cooled fritters on a baking sheet in a single layer until frozen, then transfer to a freezer bag. Reheat from frozen.
- For a keto version, substitute almond flour for all-purpose flour and omit the Parmesan cheese or use a keto-friendly alternative.
- These pair well with a side of Greek yogurt or your favorite dipping sauce.
