Ingredients
  

  • 4 medium zucchini grated

  • 3 –4 eggs lightly beaten
  • 4 green onions scallions, finely chopped
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 2 –3 tablespoons olive oil for frying

Method
 

  1. Prepare the zucchini – Grate the zucchini, sprinkle with salt, and let sit for 10 minutes. Squeeze out excess liquid.
  2. Make the batter – In a bowl, mix the zucchini with eggs, green onions, flour, baking powder, and black pepper. Stir until combined.
  3. Heat the oil – In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat.
  4. Cook the fritters – Drop spoonfuls of batter into the pan, flatten slightly, and fry for 2–3 minutes per side until golden brown.
  5. Drain and serve – Remove and place on paper towels to absorb excess oil. Serve warm with yogurt or your favorite sauce.

Notes

  • For extra crispiness, squeeze out as much water as possible from the zucchini.
  • Add Parmesan or feta cheese for a richer flavor.
  • Use gluten-free flour for a gluten-free version.
  • Store in the fridge for up to 3 days or freeze for up to 2 months.
