Easy Zucchini Fritters

These zucchini fritters are unbelievably easy to make, low in calories, and the perfect way to sneak in some veggies!

Ingredients

• 1 ½ pounds zucchini, grated
• 0.75 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 cup all-purpose flour
• 0.25 cup grated Parmesan cheese
• 1 large egg, beaten
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• kosher salt and ground black pepper to taste
• 2 tablespoons olive oil

Steps

1. Toss zucchini and salt together in a large colander and place in sink to drain for 10 minutes.
2. Transfer zucchini to the center of a piece of cheesecloth; wrap cheesecloth around zucchini and squeeze to drain as much moisture as possible.
3. Mix flour, Parmesan cheese, egg, and garlic together in a large bowl. Stir in zucchini, then season with kosher salt and pepper.
4. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
5. Working in batches, scoop tablespoonfuls of zucchini mixture into the hot skillet and fry until golden brown, about 2 minutes per side.
