Salting the grated zucchini helps draw out the excess moisture before squeezing it dry — this step is the trick that keeps these golden brown fritters from becoming soggy.

Ingredients

2 small zucchini

Kosher salt

4 scallions, minced

1/4 cup chopped parsley

1/4 cup chopped dill

1 large egg, beaten

3/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese

1/4 cup all-purpose flour

Olive oil, for frying

Directions

  1. Grate the zucchini into a colander in the sink; toss with 2 teaspoons salt. Let sit for 10 minutes, then squeeze out the liquid.
  2. In a bowl, stir to combine the zucchini, scallions, parsley, dill, egg, Parmesan and flour.
  3. Heat a thin layer of olive oil in a pan over medium to medium-high heat. Drop spoonfuls of the zucchini batter into the skillet and pan-fry, flattening with a spatula, until golden-brown in spots, 3 to 4 minutes per side. Drain on paper towels and season with salt.

This recipe is very flavorful - the dill is terrific. I dip each one in a little sour cream.<br />Would definitely make again.
