Ingredients

Scale

2 medium zucchini, grated

2 large eggs

1/2 cup all-purpose flour

1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese

2 green onions, finely sliced

2 cloves garlic, minced

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Oil for frying (vegetable or canola)

Instructions

Grate the zucchini using the coarse side of a box grater. Place in a clean towel and squeeze out as much liquid as possible.
In a large bowl, mix the drained zucchini with eggs, flour, Parmesan, green onions, garlic, salt, and pepper until combined.
Heat a thin layer of oil in a skillet over medium heat.
Drop spoonfuls of the batter into the skillet, flattening slightly with the back of the spoon. Fry for 3–4 minutes per side, until golden and crisp.
Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain. Serve warm with sour cream or herbs.
