Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 3 cups shredded zucchini
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 large egg, beaten
  • 1 tablespoon chives or green onions, finely chopped
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil (for cooking)

Instruction

  • Use a box grater or food processor to shred the zucchini.
  • Place the shredded zucchini in a colander over a large bowl or the kitchen sink. Sprinkle the shredded zucchini evenly with a little bit of salt. Toss well to combine and let it sit for 10 minutes (Salt will draw out excess moisture inside the zucchini). Then, use your hands to squeeze out as much liquid as possible from the zucchini. Set aside in a large mixing bowl.
  • Add flour, egg, chives, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Mix well until evenly combined.
  • Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat until sizzling hot, about 2 minutes. Place a tablespoon of the zucchini mixture in the skillet and gently flatten with the back of a spoon or spatula. You can probably fit 4-5 fritters in one skillet, depending on the size of your skillet. Cook until golden brown on the bottom, about 2 minutes, and flip over. Cook the other side until golden brown, another 2 minutes. Repeat in batches until the zucchini mixture is used up.
  • Serve warm with Tzatziki Sauce, mayonnaise, or sour cream, if desired.
