Zucchini Fritters
Crisp, savory zucchini fritters made with Parmesan, scallions, garlic, and a lightly seasoned batter.
Instructions
-
Step 1
Place the grated zucchini in a colander and toss it with ⅝ tsp (4 gr) of the salt. Let it drain for 15 minutes.
-
Step 2
Transfer the zucchini to a clean kitchen towel, gather the edges, and squeeze firmly over the sink until very little liquid comes out.
-
Step 3
Combine the drained zucchini, beaten eggs, flour, Parmesan, scallions, garlic, baking powder, black pepper, and the remaining ⅜ tsp (2 gr) salt in a large mixing bowl. Stir just until evenly mixed.
-
Step 4
Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat until it shimmers.
-
Step 5
Working in two batches, portion four fritters into the skillet and flatten each to about 1 cm thick. Cook for 3 to 4 minutes per side, until deep golden and the centers reach 74°C.
-
Step 6
Transfer the cooked fritters to a paper-towel-lined plate to drain briefly, then serve hot.
