Fritters are a great way to turn an abundance of fruit or veg into a delicious snack or side.
Ingredients
- 1.5 lbs zucchini grated, about 3 cups
- 1 tsp kosher or sea salt
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup grated parmigiano reggiano cheese
- 4 cloves garlic minced
- 1 large egg beaten
- salt and pepper to taste
- 2 Tbsp olive oil
Instructions
- Place grated zucchini in a colander lined with a clean dish towel or cheesecloth over a bowl or in the sink. Add salt and gently toss to combine. Let sit for ten minutes.
- After ten minutes, gently squeeze out the moisture from your zucchini.
- in a large bowl, combine zucchini, flour, parmigiano, garlic and egg and mix. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Heat a large skillet over medium high heat. When pan is hot add your olive oil. When the oil shimmers, scoop a tablespoon of batter (one for each fritter) and flatten slightly with a spatula. Don't crowd your fritters in the pan.
- Cook about 2 minutes until nicely golden on the bottom. When golden, flip and cook the other side another 1-2 minutes until golden.
- Serve immediately with a dollop of Greek yogurt.
