Instructions
Creating Crispy Zucchini Fritters is a straightforward process. Follow these steps for delicious results:
1. Prepare the Zucchini: Grate the zucchinis using a box grater or a food processor. Once grated, place them in a clean kitchen towel and squeeze out excess moisture.
2. Mix Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the grated zucchini, flour, egg, baking powder, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, black pepper, and optional cheese and herbs. Mix until well combined.
3. Heat Oil: In a large skillet, heat about 2-3 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat.
4. Form Fritters: Using your hands, take a small amount of the mixture and shape it into a patty, about 1/2 inch thick. Place it carefully in the heated skillet.
5. Cook Fritters: Fry the fritters for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy. You may need to do this in batches, depending on your skillet size.
6. Drain Excess Oil: Once cooked, transfer the fritters to a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.
7. Repeat: Continue the process with the remaining mixture until all fritters are cooked.
