Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Crispy Zucchini Parmesan Fritters.
Step 1
Begin by placing finely grated zucchini in a mixing bowl and sprinkling it with salt.
Step 2
Give it a good stir and allow it to rest for 10 minutes to release its moisture.
Step 3
After the time is up, take the zucchini mixture and transfer it onto a clean dish towel or cheesecloth.
Step 4
Squeeze out as much liquid as you can; this step is crucial for achieving crispy fritters.
Step 5
In a separate bowl, whisk together an egg, then incorporate flour, grated Parmesan cheese, salt, and black pepper, mixing until everything is harmoniously blended.
Step 6
Gently fold the drained zucchini into the egg mixture, ensuring an even distribution.
Step 7
Heat oil in a medium skillet over medium-high heat.
Step 8
Once the oil is shimmering, drop spoonfuls of the batter into the pan, using the back of the spoon to flatten them slightly.
Step 9
Cook the fritters for about 5 minutes on each side, or until they turn a beautiful golden brown and crispy.
Step 10
If needed, work in batches to prevent overcrowding the pan.
Step 11
Once cooked, transfer the fritters to a serving plate, and for an extra touch, sprinkle with additional Parmesan cheese and a pinch of salt.
Step 12
Serve these delightful bites immediately, accompanied by a side of sour cream for dipping.
Step 13
Enjoy the crispy, savory goodness that brings a taste of comfort to your table!.
