Step 1

Grate the zucchini and place it in a colander. Sprinkle with salt and let it sit for about 10 minutes. This will help draw out excess moisture from the zucchini.

Step 2

After 10 minutes, squeeze the grated zucchini using a clean kitchen towel to remove as much moisture as possible. This step is crucial to prevent the fritters from being too soggy.

Step 3

In a large bowl, combine the squeezed zucchini, flour, egg, chopped green onions, minced garlic, salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined.

Step 4

Heat a few tablespoons of oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, drop spoonfuls of the zucchini mixture into the skillet and flatten them slightly with a spatula. Cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy.

Step 5

Transfer the cooked fritters to a plate lined with paper towels to absorb any excess oil. Serve warm, optionally with a dollop of sour cream or a squeeze of lemon juice.
