🛒 Ingredients
Fritter Batter
- 2 medium zucchinis (grated)
- 2 eggs
- 3-4 tbsp oat flour (or all-purpose flour)
- 1 clove garlic (minced)
- 50g Parmesan cheese (grated, or other hard cheese)
- to taste salt and pepper
For Frying
- as needed olive oil
👨🍳 Instructions
Step 1: Prep the Zucchini
Grate the zucchinis using a coarse grater. Sprinkle with a pinch of salt, let it sit for 2 minutes, then thoroughly squeeze out the excess liquid.
Step 2: Mix the Batter
In a mixing bowl, combine the well-squeezed zucchini, eggs, oat flour, minced garlic, and grated Parmesan cheese. Season with freshly ground black pepper to taste.
Step 3: Fry the Fritters
Heat a small amount of olive oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Spoon small dollops of the batter into the pan and gently flatten them. Fry for about 3 minutes on each side until they are golden brown and crispy.
📝 Author Notes
These fritters are best served with a dollop of Greek yogurt or garlic sour cream. For an extra touch of flavor, garnish with fresh dill or a sprinkle of chili flakes for a spicy kick.
🥡 Storage Tips
Store any leftover fritters in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat in a dry skillet or oven to restore their crispy texture.
