Ingredients

• 2 medium zucchini
• 1 large egg
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 cup parmesan cheese
• 1 cup bread crumbs
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• 1 cup olive oil
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley

Instructions

1. 1

   Grate the zucchini using a box grater or food processor. Place the grated zucchini in a clean kitchen towel and squeeze out excess moisture.

2. 2

   In a large mixing bowl, combine the drained zucchini, egg, flour, parmesan cheese, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and chopped fresh parsley. Mix until well combined.

3. 3

   Form the mixture into small patties, about 2-3 inches in diameter.

4. 4

   In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat until shimmering (about 350°F).

5. 5

   Carefully add the zucchini patties to the skillet, making sure not to overcrowd the pan. Fry for 3-4 minutes on each side or until golden brown and crispy.

6. 6

   Once cooked, transfer the fritters to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.

7. 7

   Serve warm with your choice of dipping sauce, such as marinara or tzatziki.
