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
 

Place the grated zucchini in a clean kitchen towel or cheesecloth and squeeze out excess moisture. This step ensures your fritters are crispy.

    In a large mixing bowl, combine the grated zucchini and salt. Let it sit for about 10 minutes, then press out any additional water.

      Add the flour, eggs, Parmesan cheese, green onions, garlic powder, black pepper, and baking powder to the drained zucchini. Stir until fully combined, forming a batter.

        Heat a non-stick skillet or frying pan over medium heat and add a generous drizzle of olive oil.

          Once the oil is hot, scoop 2-3 tablespoons of the zucchini mixture into the pan, pressing it down gently to form fritters. Cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side or until golden brown and crispy.

            Transfer the cooked fritters to a plate lined with paper towels to absorb excess oil. Continue with the remaining mixture, adding more oil as needed.

              Serve warm as a snack or appetizer, paired with your favorite dip like tzatziki or sour cream.
