Equipment

  • food processor w/ shredding attachment

Ingredients

  • 2 lbs zucchini grated
  • 3 tbsp scallions
  • 1 c breadcrumbs
  • 1 tbsp parsley
  • 1/2 tbsp dill
  • 1/2 tbsp mint
  • 1 egg
  • 3/4 c parmesan cheese
  • flour for coating
  • 6 tbsp olive oil enough to cover the bottom of the pan

Instructions

  • Grate your zucchini into a bowl. We like to use a food processor with a grating attachment since it's so much quicker. If you don't have that, a normal grater will be fine.
  • Place your grated zucchini into a colander, and add a generous amount of salt. This will help drain any excess water in the zucchini. Let sit for 30 minutes.
  • While you're waiting for the zucchini to drain, prepare all the other ingredients except for the olive oil.
  • Once the 30 minutes is up, check on your zucchini. Squeeze out any excess water still inside, and place in a bowl.
  • Add all of your prepared ingredients to the zucchini. Mix well.
  • Start to take about 1/8 cup of the mixture and shape into a fritter. Repeat until the mixture is gone.
  • Take the fritters and dredge in flour, and shake off the excess. Place on a plate.
  • Heat your olive oil in a pan over high heat. The oil needs to be very hot for the fritter to become crispy.
  • Once the oil is hot, place the fritters in the pan. Fry each side until golden brown (about 4-5 minutes).
  • Once the fritter is cooked, transfer them to a paper towel-covered plate to absorb any excess oil.
  • After they have cooled, enjoy!
