{Healthy!} Zucchini Fritters
Recipe by Our Best Bites
4 cups grated zucchini
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup shredded Parmesan cheese
1/4 cup sliced green onions
1/8 teaspoon black pepper
1/2 teaspoon bottled minced garlic
2 tablespoons all purpose flour
1 egg white (reserve the yolk)
olive oil (I recommend our Garlic Olive Oil)
Place shredded zucchini in a strainer over a bowl or in sink. Toss with salt and let sit for 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally. Press zucchini down with hands to expel liquid through strainer. Transfer zucchini to several layers of paper towels and place another layer of paper towels on top of it. Press and squeeze to remove as much moisture as possible.
Place zucchini in a bowl and add remaining ingredients. Toss together. If needed, you may add a bit of the yolk as an additional binder.
Heat a large, non-stick skillet to medium-high heat. Add 1/2 tablespoon Garlic Olive Oil (or enough to lightly coat bottom of pan). Drop zucchini batter by 2-tablespoons full into pan and lightly spread/flatten. Cook for 2-3 minutes until golden brown and crisp on one side and then flip. Continue cooking until golden and then transfer to a wire rack with a paper towel on it. *note cooking time greatly varies due to pan type, stove, etc. Go by color and cook until they’re nice and golden-crisp. Serve with a small dollop of sour cream or plain yogurt if desired and garnish with green onions. Yields 12.
