Ingredients
- 2 medium zucchini grated
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ¼ cup flour
- ¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon pepper
- 1 large egg lightly beaten
- 2 tablespoons canola oil
Instructions
- Place the zucchini in a colander in the sink and sprinkle with the salt. Let sit 5-10 minutes to drain. Wrap the zucchini in a kitchen towel and squeeze it to remove the excess water.
- Add the zucchini to a medium bowl, then add the flour, parmesan, garlic powder, pepper, and egg. Mix until combined.
- Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
- Drop the zucchini mixture into the hot oil by spoonfuls, flattening slightly with the back of the spoon. Cook 3-4 minutes, then flip and cook an additional 2-3 minutes, or until golden brown on both sides.
- Serve warm with sour cream.

Notes
- STORE. Allow the easy zucchini fritters to cool before placing them together in an airtight container. They will keep in the fridge for up to 5 days.
- FREEZE. You can also freeze them for up to 3 months.
- To reheat. You can reheat the fritters in the oven at 350°F or in a frying pan over medium heat. The microwave is my last choice only because it won't crisp up the outside like the other methods.
