Description

These savory zucchini fritters with crispy, golden edges are easy to make, deliciously cheesy, and perfect for using up summer zucchini.

Ingredients

1 1/2 pounds zucchini, grated
3/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 large egg, beaten
2 cloves garlic, minced
kosher salt and ground black pepper to taste
2 tablespoons olive oil

Directions

1 Toss zucchini and salt together in a large colander; place in sink to drain for 10 minutes.
2 Transfer zucchini to the center of a piece of cheesecloth; wrap cheesecloth around zucchini and squeeze to drain as much moisture as possible.
3 Combine flour, Parmesan cheese, egg, and garlic in a large bowl. Stir in zucchini; season with salt and black pepper.
4 Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
5 Scoop tablespoonfuls of zucchini mixture into the hot skillet, working in batches, and fry until golden brown, about 2 minutes per side.
6 Serve hot and enjoy!
