Ingredients
  

2 medium zucchini, grated

1 teaspoon salt

1 cup all-purpose flour

2 large eggs

1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese

1/4 cup green onions, finely chopped

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1/2 teaspoon black pepper

1 teaspoon baking powder

Olive oil (for frying)

Instructions
 

Begin by grating the zucchini and placing it in a clean kitchen towel or cheesecloth. Squeeze firmly to extract as much moisture as possible, which will help ensure your fritters achieve a delightful crispy texture.

    In a large mixing bowl, combine the drained zucchini with the teaspoon of salt. Allow this mixture to rest for about 10 minutes. Afterward, re-squeeze the zucchini if necessary to remove any remaining water.

      Incorporate the all-purpose flour, eggs, grated Parmesan cheese, finely chopped green onions, garlic powder, black pepper, and baking powder into the zucchini. Mix thoroughly until the ingredients are well integrated, forming a cohesive batter.

        Heat a non-stick skillet or frying pan over medium heat. Add a generous drizzle of olive oil, enough to create a thin layer at the bottom of the pan.

          Once the oil is shimmering, use a tablespoon to scoop 2-3 tablespoons of the zucchini batter into the pan. Press down gently to flatten each fritter slightly. Cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until they develop a golden brown crust and become crispy.

            Once cooked, transfer the fritters to a plate lined with paper towels to absorb any excess oil. Continue frying the remaining mixture, adding more olive oil as needed to prevent sticking.

              Serve the zucchini fritters warm as a delicious snack or appetizer. They pair wonderfully with dips like tzatziki, sour cream, or your favorite sauce.
