Servings 4
Ingredients
- 1½ pounds zucchini grated
- ¼ cup flour
- ¼ cup Parmesan cheese grated
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 1 medium shallot minced
- 1 large egg beaten
- 2 tsp Kosher salt
- pinch red pepper flakes
- fresh ground black pepper to taste
- 2 Tbsp olive oil
Instructions
- Place grated zucchini into a colander over the sink. Add 2 tsp salt and toss to combine. Let sit for 10 minutes. Using a clean dish towel or cheese cloth, squeeze zucchini to drain completely. This may take a few squeezings. Zucchini is VERY juicy.
- In a large bowl, combine zucchini, flour, grated Parmesan, garlic, shallot, red pepper flakes and egg; season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Heat 2 Tbsp olive oil in a large skillet over medium high heat. Scoop about ¼ cup of batter for each fritter, flattening down with a spatula. Cook until the underside is nicely golden brown, about 2 minutes. Flip and cook on the other side, about 1-2 minutes longer.
- Serve immediately. Top with a dollop of sour cream or Greek yogurt and some chopped green onion or chives.
