Ingredients
- 2 medium zucchini washed and finely chopped
- 2 Teaspoon. salt
- 2 eggs slightly beaten
- 1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese
- 1/3 cup flour
- 1/2 cup bread crumbs
- 1 Tbsp. minced garlic
- 1/3 cup chopped onion
- 2 Tbsp. fresh chopped Italian parsley
- salt and pepper to taste
- 2 cups olive and canola blend oil for frying
Instructions
- Chop the zucchini and sprinkle with salt. Let sit for 10 minutes to draw out the liquid. Use your hands to squeeze out as much liquid as possible
- In a bowl combine the zucchini, and the rest of the ingredients except for the frying oil. Mix until well combined.
- Scoop out about 2 Tbsp. of the mixture and flatten into patties

Notes
Squeeze as much moisture as possible from the grated zucchini before mixing the batter. This helps the fritters brown nicely and keeps them crispy.
