Ingredients:
- 2 medium-sized zucchinis, grated
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 green onions, finely chopped
- 2 large eggs
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons olive oil (for frying)
Instructions:
- Prepare the Zucchini:
- Grate the zucchinis using a box grater or a food processor. Place the grated zucchini in a clean kitchen towel and squeeze out any excess moisture.
- Mix the Ingredients:
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the grated zucchini, Parmesan cheese, mozzarella cheese, all-purpose flour, minced garlic, chopped green onions, eggs, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly combined.
- Form the Fritters:
- Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat.
- Take a small amount of the zucchini mixture and form it into a ball, then flatten it to create a fritter. Place it in the skillet. Repeat until the skillet is filled, but make sure not to overcrowd.
- Cook the Fritters:
- Cook the fritters for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and crispy. Use a spatula to flip them carefully.
- Serve:
- Once the fritters are cooked through, transfer them to a plate lined with paper towels to absorb any excess oil.
- Optional: Serve with a Dipping Sauce:
- Prepare a dipping sauce of your choice, such as yogurt sauce, tzatziki, or marinara, to serve alongside the fritters.
