Cooking Time: 20 minutesPreperation Time: 15 minutes

Grate Zucchini

Wash and grate the zucchini using a box grater. Place the grated zucchini in a clean kitchen towel and squeeze out as much liquid as possible. This helps the fritters to stay crisp.

Prepare the Batter

In a large bowl, combine the grated zucchini, chopped scallions, minced garlic, egg, flour, grated Parmesan cheese, salt, and pepper. Mix well until all the ingredients are well incorporated.

Shape the Fritters

Take a small handful of the mixture and form it into a patty. Repeat until all the mixture is used.

Cook the Fritters

Heat vegetable oil in a large pan over medium heat. Add the zucchini patties to the pan, making sure not to overcrowd. Cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side or until golden brown and crispy.

Drain and Serve

Remove the fritters from the pan and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil. Serve warm, garnished with fresh herbs or a dollop of sour cream if desired.
