For the Fritter Batter

  • ¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese adds a deliciously savory note that complements the zucchini.
  • ¼ cup chopped green onions brings a fresh, mild onion flavor that elevates the dish.
  • 2 large eggs act as a binder to hold the fritters together while adding richness.
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder infuses the fritters with a subtle garlic aroma and taste.
  • ½ teaspoon onion powder complements the green onions for a layered flavor profile.
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper adds a touch of warm spice to balance the flavors.

Step-by-Step Instructions for Crispy Zucchini Fritters

  • Start by grating 2 cups of zucchini, then take a clean kitchen towel and place the grated zucchini inside. Squeeze out the excess moisture.
  • In a large mixing bowl, combine the grated zucchini with 1 teaspoon of salt, ½ cup of all-purpose flour, ¼ cup of grated Parmesan cheese, and ¼ cup of chopped green onions. Add 2 large eggs, ½ teaspoon of garlic powder, ½ teaspoon of onion powder, and ½ teaspoon of black pepper. Stir until everything is evenly mixed.
  • Place a skillet over medium heat and pour in enough oil for frying, about ¼ inch deep. Allow the oil to heat for about 5 minutes.
  • Using a tablespoon, scoop spoonfuls of the zucchini mixture into the hot oil, gently flattening each scoop to form fritters. Fry for about 3-4 minutes on one side, or until golden brown and crispy, then flip to cook the other side.
  • Once your fritters are golden on both sides, remove them from the skillet and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to absorb excess oil.
  • After all the fritters are fried, serve them warm, paired with your favorite dipping sauce.

Notes

Ensure to remove as much moisture as possible from the grated zucchini to prevent soggy fritters. Fry on medium heat for even cooking, and avoid overcrowding the skillet.
