Egg and Zucchini Fritters - A Healthy and Tasty Twist on a Classic Dish
Egg and Zucchini Fritters are a delicious, healthy, and versatile dish that can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. Made with grated zucchini, eggs, and a combination of flavorful ingredients, these fritters are both nutritious and satisfying.
Ingredients
- 2 cup grated zucchini (about 2 medium zucchinis)
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 large eggs, lightly beaten
- 1/4 cup chopped green onions
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 2-3 tsp olive oil, for frying
Instructions
- Place the grated zucchini in a colander and sprinkle with a pinch of salt. Let it sit for about 10 minutes, allowing the zucchini to release some of its moisture.
- After 10 minutes, use a clean kitchen towel or paper towels to squeeze out as much liquid from the zucchini as possible.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the grated zucchini, flour, Parmesan cheese, eggs, green onions, parsley, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly incorporated.
- Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat.
- Drop spoonfuls of the zucchini mixture into the hot oil, gently flattening each fritter with the back of a spoon. Cook the fritters for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and crispy.
- Transfer the cooked fritters to a plate lined with paper towels to absorb any excess oil. Repeat the process with the remaining zucchini mixture, adding more oil to the skillet as needed.
- Serve the fritters warm, with sour cream or Greek yogurt for dipping, if desired.
