Ingredients
– 2 medium zucchinis
– 1 teaspoon salt
– 1 cup all-purpose flour
– 2 large eggs
– 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
– 1/4 cup chopped green onions
– 2 cloves garlic, minced
– 1 teaspoon black pepper
– 1/2 teaspoon paprika (optional)
– Vegetable oil for frying
Instructions
Creating these incredible zucchini fritters is straightforward if you follow these simple steps:
1. Prepare Zucchini: Grate the zucchinis using a box grater. Place them in a colander, sprinkle with salt, and let them sit for about 10 minutes to drain excess moisture.
2. Squeeze Out Water: After resting, use a clean kitchen towel to squeeze out as much moisture as possible from the zucchini.
3. Combine Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the grated zucchini, flour, eggs, Parmesan cheese, green onions, garlic, black pepper, and paprika (if using).
4. Mix Well: Stir the mixture until all ingredients are well combined and a batter forms.
5. Heat Oil: In a large skillet, heat about 1/4 inch of vegetable oil over medium heat.
6. Test the Oil: Drop a small amount of batter into the oil. If it sizzles, the oil is ready.
7. Fry Fritters: Using a tablespoon, scoop portions of the batter and carefully place them in the hot oil. Flatten them slightly with the back of the spoon.
8. Cook Until Golden: Fry for 3-4 minutes on each side or until golden brown and crispy.
9. Drain Excess Oil: Once cooked, transfer the fritters to a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.
10. Repeat: Continue frying the remaining batter until all fritters are cooked.
