Zucchini Fritters Recipe


These were very very very tasty. They had a nice crunch on the outside and kind of creamy in the middle. I can't wait to make these again! For those of you with kids, this might be a good way to slip in some veggies. :)




Ingredients



1 lb of zucchini (about 2 medium sized), coarsely grated


Kosher salt


Ground black pepper


1 large egg


1/2 red onion, finely chopped


1/2 cup all-purpose flour


1/2 cup canola oil or olive oil


Sour cream, yogurt or ranch



Method
1 Salt the zucchini with about 1 teaspoon of salt. Try to remove the excess moisture from the zucchini by either squeezing the liquid out with a potato ricer, or by squeezing with paper towels. I don't have a potato ricer, so I just used paper towels.





2 Whisk egg in a large bowl; add the zucchini, flour, onion, and 1/4 teaspoon of pepper. Mix to combine well.



3 Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Cook fritters in two batches. Drop six mounds of batter (2 Tbsp each) into the skillet. Flatten slightly. Cook, turning once, until browned, 4-6 minutes on each side. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate. Sprinkle with salt. Repeat with remaining batter.



Serve immediately, with sour cream, yogurt or ranch.
