ZUCCHINI FRITTERS

By Clarabell

Ingredients

• 1 1/2 pounds zucchini, grated
• 1 t salt
• 1/4 c flour
• 1/4 c grated Parmesan cheese
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 egg, beaten
• Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
• 2 T olive oil

Preparation

Step 1

Place grated zucchini in a colander over the sink. Add salt and gently toss to combine, let sit for 10 minutes. Using a clean dish towel or cheese cloth, drain zucchini completely.

In a large bowl, combine zucchini, flour, Parmesan, garlic and egg; season with salt and pepper, to taste.

Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium high heat. Scoop tablespoons of batter for each fritter, flattening with a spatula, and cook until the underside is nicely golden brown, about 2 minutes. Flip and cook on the other side, about 1-2 minutes longer.

Serve immediately.
