Looking for something heartier, but not heavier? These delicious fritters will hit the spot!
Ingredients
1 ½ lbs. zucchini grated
1 tsp. salt
½ cup flour
¼ cup Parmesan cheese grated
1 large egg whisked
2 cloves garlic crushed
¼ tsp. black pepper
2 Tbsp. olive oil
Instructions
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grate the zucchini, either by hand or with a food processor that has a grate attachment.
Lay zucchini out in a flat layer and sprinkle it with salt. Let it sit for 10-15 minutes.
Strain excess moisture from zucchini using a cheesecloth or a thin dish towel.
In a large bowl combine the zucchini, flour, Parmesan, egg, garlic, and black pepper. Mix well. Form 8 equally-sized balls that are each about 2-3 tablespoons each.
In a large skillet over medium heat add 1 tablespoon oil and 4 balls. Press zucchini balls with the back of a spatula and spread out to about 2 – 3 inches in diameter and about ½-inch thick. Sear zucchini fritters for 2-3 minutes per side or until browned. Remove from skillet. Repeat with remaining four zucchini balls.
Place all zucchini fritters onto a cookie sheet and bake in preheated oven for 10-15 minutes.
Serve zucchini fritters with sour cream.
Enjoy!
