Preparing the zucchini

Grate the zucchini into fine shreds and place in a colander. Sprinkle with a little salt and let it sit for about 10 minutes to release excess moisture. Squeeze out as much liquid as possible.

Making the fritter batter

In a bowl, mix the grated zucchini with flour, a beaten egg, and any preferred spices until well combined. If the mixture is too wet, you can add a little more flour to obtain the right consistency.

Frying the fritters

Heat the cooking oil in a pan over medium heat. Once hot, drop spoonfuls of the zucchini mixture into the pan, flattening them slightly with the back of the spoon to form pancake shapes. Fry until each side is golden brown and crispy, about 3-5 minutes per side. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to absorb any excess oil.

Serving

Serve the zucchini fritters hot, accompanied by a side of sour cream or a creamy condiment of your choice.

⭐️ Nutrition facts:

This dish is a great source of vitamins A and C, thanks to the zucchini. It also provides a moderate amount of protein, carbohydrates, and fats, making it a well-balanced meal option. The use of cooking oil for frying adds a significant amount of fats, so it's recommended to use a healthy oil option if possible, like olive or avocado oil.
