Zucchini Fritters

This is a perfect side dish or snack that uses up your zucchini. I like to dip mine in a mayo/lemon sauce but they are really good just on their own.

Prep: 20 minutes Cook: 5 minutes Additional: 10 minutes Total: 35 min Servings: 4

• 1 1/2 pounds zucchini, grated – about 3 medium
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
• 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
• 1 large egg, beaten
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 pinch salt and ground black pepper to taste
• 2 tablespoons olive oil

1. Toss the grated zucchini and salt together in a large colander and place in sink to drain for 10 minutes.
2. Put the zucchini in the middle of a piece of cheesecloth or clean thin dishtowel, wrap the towel around zucchini and dquieeze to drain as much moisture from zucchini as possible.
3. Mix flour, Parmesan cheese, egg, garlic, salt and pepper together in a large bowl. Stir in zucchini.
4. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
5. Scoop batter by the tablespoon into the hot skillet and fry until golden brown, about 2 minutes per side.
6. Serve with a light mayo/lemon sauce or on it’s own.
