Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 1 ½ lbs. zucchini (grated)
  • 1 tsp. salt
  • ½ cup flour (or GF 1-to-1)
  • ¼ cup Parmesan cheese (grated)
  • 1 large egg (whisked)
  • 2 cloves garlic (crushed)
  • ¼ tsp. black pepper
  • 2 Tbsp. olive oil

Instruction

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  • Grate zucchini using a food processor with a grating attachment or with a boxed grater.
  • Lay zucchini out in a flat layer and sprinkle with salt. Let sit for 10-15 minutes.
  • Strain excess moisture from zucchini using a cheesecloth or a thin dish towel. You will end up with about 1 cup of grated zucchini and 1 cup of strained liquid.
  • In a large bowl combine grated zucchini, flour, cheese, egg, garlic, and black pepper. Mix until well combined.
  • Form 8 equally-sized balls that are each about 2-3 tablespoons each.
  • In a large cast iron skillet over medium heat add 1 tablespoon oil and 4 balls. Smash zucchini balls with the back of a spatula and spread out to about 2 ½ - 3 inches in diameter and about ½-inch thick.*
  • Sear zucchini fritters for 2-3 minutes per side or until browned. Remove from skillet. Repeat with remaining four zucchini balls.
  • Place all zucchini fritters back into the skillet and bake in preheated oven for 10-15 minutes.
  • Serve zucchini fritters with sour cream and enjoy!
