Preparing the Zucchini

Grate approximately 200 grams of zucchini. Optionally, salt the grated zucchini lightly and let it sit in a colander for 10 minutes to draw out moisture. Squeeze out the excess water before use.

Making the Batter

In a large bowl, mix the grated zucchini with 1-2 beaten eggs, 25-50 grams of all-purpose flour (or another binding agent), 10-20 grams of grated Parmesan cheese (optional), 20 grams of finely chopped onion, 1-2 minced garlic cloves, salt, and black pepper to taste.

Frying the Fritters

Heat a skillet with 10-20 grams of olive oil over medium heat. Form the batter into patties and fry each side until golden brown and cooked through, approximately 2-3 minutes per side.

Serving

Serve the fritters warm, accompanied by a dollop of sour cream, if desired.
