→ Main Ingredients
01 -
4 cups shredded zucchini
02 -
2/3 cup all-purpose flour
03 -
2 large eggs, lightly beaten
04 -
1/3 cup sliced scallions (green and white parts)
05 -
2 tablespoons olive oil
→ Optional Toppings
06 -
Sour cream
# Instructions:
01 -
Place the shredded zucchini in a colander set over a bowl and sprinkle lightly with salt. Allow the zucchini to stand for 10 minutes. Using your hands, squeeze out as much liquid as possible, then transfer to a large bowl.
02 -
Add the flour, eggs, sliced scallions, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/8 teaspoon pepper to the bowl with the zucchini. Stir the mixture until well combined. Line a plate with paper towels.
03 -
Heat the olive oil in a large sauté pan over medium heat. Once hot, scoop 3-tablespoon mounds of the zucchini mixture into the pan, pressing gently into rounds and spacing 2 inches apart. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes, then flip and cook an additional 2 minutes until golden brown. Transfer to the paper towel-lined plate and sprinkle with salt.
04 -
Repeat the scooping and cooking process with the remaining zucchini mixture. Serve fritters hot, topped with sour cream and sliced scallions, if desired.
# Notes:
01 -
Measure the shredded zucchini before squeezing out any liquid.
02 -
Zucchini fritters are best served immediately, but leftovers can be refrigerated for up to 2 days or frozen for up to 3 months.
03 -
To reheat, use an oven, air fryer, or hot skillet to restore crispiness.
