Zucchini Fritters
Zucchini is grated, salted, squeezed, and then transformed into delicious savory fritters. Serve with sour cream for a delicious breakfast, lunch, or dinner.
Ingredients
- 2 pounds zucchini (2 large or 5 medium)
- 2 teaspoons salt
- 2 large eggs
- ½ cup sliced green onions
- ¾ cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- olive oil (for frying)
- sour cream (for serving)
Instructions
- Grate the zucchini and place in a large bowl. Sprinkle with 2 teaspoons salt, mix, and let sit for 10 minutes.
- Place a handful of zucchini in a clean kitchen towel and squeeze to get rid of the moisture. Transfer the zucchini to a bowl and repeat with the remaining zucchini.
- Add the eggs and green onions to the bowl of zucchini and mix.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and pepper.
- Pour the dry ingredients into the zucchini and mix until combined.
- Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a pan over medium heat. Scoop ¼ cup of batter into the pan and use a spatula to flatten into a ¾-inch patty. If the batter sticks to the spatula, lightly oil the bottom of the spatula first. Cook for 3-5 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through.
- Serve immediately with sour cream. Enjoy!
