Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Crispy Zucchini Fritters.
Step 1
Begin by placing grated zucchini in a large colander, sprinkling it generously with salt, and allowing it to drain in the sink for about 10 minutes.
Step 2
Once the time is up, transfer the zucchini to the center of a piece of cheesecloth.
Step 3
Gather the edges of the cheesecloth and twist to squeeze out as much moisture as you can, ensuring your fritters are perfectly crispy.
Step 4
In a spacious bowl, mix together flour, Parmesan cheese, a beaten egg, and minced garlic.
Step 5
Gently fold in the drained zucchini, then season the mixture with kosher salt and freshly cracked black pepper to your liking.
Step 6
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat, creating a sizzling canvas for your fritters.
Step 7
In batches, drop tablespoonfuls of the zucchini mixture into the hot oil, frying until they achieve a beautiful golden brown, roughly 2 minutes on each side.
Step 8
Once cooked, serve the fritters hot and savor the delightful crunch and flavor.
Step 9
Enjoy this delicious dish that brings a taste of comfort to your table!.
