Ingredients
- 450 g zucchini - 1 pound (about 4 medium zucchini)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil - extra virgin
- 2 eggs
- 1 tablespoon parsley - chopped
- 120 g Parmigiano Cheese - 1 cup, grated
- 60 g breadcrumbs - ½ cup + more for breading
- ⅓ teaspoon salt
Instructions
- To make Italian Baked Zucchini Fritters, first wash and trim the zucchini. Then shred the zucchini with a wide-hole grater.
- Squeeze the grated zucchini with your hands to remove as much of the liquid as possible.
- Place the grated and well squeezed raw zucchini in a bowl and add the other ingredients. First the whole eggs. Then the grated Parmigiano cheese.
- Now add the breadcrumbs, a pinch of salt and the chopped parsley. Mix everything together well.
- Finally you can form the zucchini fritters. Take about a tablespoon of the mixture and give it a round, flattened shape, pressing it down well with your hands.
- Coat the fritters in breadcrumbs on both sides, pressing well with your hands to make the breading stick.
- Line a baking sheet with baking paper. Lightly grease it with very little oil. Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 200°C (390°F).
- Place the patties on the baking sheet and with a kitchen brush for cooking, grease them with a little oil.
- Bake the zucchini fritters for about 20 minutes, turning them halfway through cooking to get an even browning.
