Zucchini parmesan fritters

Zucchini Parmesan Fritters are a delicious and healthy way to enjoy this versatile vegetable. Perfect as an appetizer, snack, or side dish, these fritters are crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. Packed with flavor and easy to make, they are a great addition to any meal.

Ingredients:

1 short spray cooking spray oil
0.30g
2 zucchini
390g
1 tbsp olive oil
14g
1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese
20g
1/4 cup bread crumbs
27g
1 dash salt
0.40g
1 dash black pepper
1/10g

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Zucchini:
- Wash and dry the zucchinis thoroughly.
- Grate the zucchinis using a box grater or a food processor.
- Place the grated zucchini in a clean kitchen towel or a cheesecloth. Wrapping it tightly, squeeze out as much excess water as possible. This step is crucial to ensuring your fritters are not soggy.
2. Mix the Ingredients:
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the drained zucchini, 1 tablespoon of olive oil, 1/4 cup of grated Parmesan cheese, and 1/4 cup of bread crumbs.
- Season the mixture with a dash of salt and black pepper.
- Mix all the ingredients together until well combined.
3. Form the Fritters:
- Take small portions of the zucchini mixture and shape them into small patties or fritters, roughly the size of your palm.
4. Cook the Fritters:
- Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium heat.
- Lightly coat the skillet with the cooking spray oil.
- Place the fritters in the skillet, making sure not to overcrowd the pan. You might need to cook them in batches depending on the size of your skillet.
- Cook the fritters for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and crispy. Adjust the heat as needed to avoid burning.
5. Serve:
- Once they are cooked, transfer the fritters to a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.
- Serve the Zucchini Parmesan Fritters hot, either on their own or with a dipping sauce of your choice.

Tips:

- Make sure to squeeze out as much moisture as possible from the grated zucchini to ensure your fritters are crispy.

- You can add chopped herbs like parsley or basil to the mixture for extra flavor.

- Serve with a dipping sauce like sour cream, marinara, or a garlic aioli for an extra delicious treat.

- If you prefer a gluten-free option, substitute bread crumbs with almond flour or gluten-free bread crumbs.

- For even cooking, ensure the fritters are of uniform size and thickness when placing them on the skillet.

Enjoy your crispy and flavorful Zucchini Parmesan Fritters! They are best served hot, right off the skillet. Whether you enjoy them as a snack, appetizer, or side dish, these fritters are sure to be a hit.
