fritters
Ingredients
- 1 large zucchini or 2 small zucchini
- 1 large egg
- 3 tbsp parmesan cheese grated
- ½ cup panko bread crumbs
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- ¾ tsp salt adjust to taste, less or more
- ¾ tsp ground pepper
- 2 tbsp green onion chopped
- 2 tbsp vegetable oil or light tasting olive oil
Instructions
- Grate the zucchini using a box grater and squeeze the water from the grated zucchini using a kitchen towel.
- Combine zucchini, egg, parmesan cheese, panko bread crumbs, cloves, salt, pepper, and green onion together until well combined.
- Heat a pan with oil. Once the oil is heated, shape the zucchini mixture to a patty shape and shallow fry them. Cook the patty to golden on both sides, cooking for 4-5 minutes on a medium heat.
- Repeat the same with the remaining patty and serve the zucchini fritters with your favorite dip on the side.
Notes
- Don’t want to have them for dinner? These zucchini fritters are great as a snack or side dish as well.
- Avoid pressing down on the zucchini fritters while they’re cooking or they might turn out too thin and flimsy.
- Feel free to add some shredded carrots or another veggie of choice if you need to clear out the fridge!
- For more flavor, you can add some fresh chives, fresh dill, or parsley.
- You can replace the freshly minced garlic with around 1 teaspoon of dried garlic powder.
