Crispy Zucchini Fritters
Crispy and golden zucchini fritters inspired by traditional Mediterranean flavors, offering a delightful combination of textures and vibrant herbal notes.
Ingredients
- 2 medium zucchini grated
- 1 tsp salt
- ½ cup all-purpose flour
- ¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese freshly grated recommended
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh dill
- 1 large egg lightly beaten
- 1 clove garlic minced
- ¼ cup olive oil for frying
Instructions
- Grate the zucchini into a large bowl and toss it with the salt. Let it sit for 10 minutes to release excess moisture.
- After 10 minutes, wrap the zucchini in a clean kitchen towel or cheesecloth and squeeze out as much liquid as possible. Return the zucchini to the bowl and add the flour, Parmesan, dill, egg, and garlic.
- Mix until well combined. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat (approximately 180°C/350°F). Scoop tablespoons of the zucchini mixture into the pan, flattening them gently with a spatula.
- Cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown and crisp. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
- Serve immediately with a dollop of Greek yogurt or sour cream, and a sprinkle of fresh herbs if desired.
Notes
- For a gluten-free option, substitute the flour with chickpea flour.
- Add a pinch of red pepper flakes for a touch of heat.
- If the mixture becomes too watery, add a tablespoon more of flour to bind it better.
