Instructions
- --------------------
- Zucchini Fritters
- --------------------
- Shred the zucchini, toss with 1 1/2 tsp salt and place in a colander for about ten minutes.
- Squeeze as much water out of the zucchini as possible. The weight will be reduced by around half (I had about 200 grams after squeezing out all of the water).
- Toss the zucchini in a bowl with the chives, garlic, parmesan cheese, adding salt & pepper to taste and add egg.
- Mix flour and baking powder together, stir into zucchini until evenly mixed without clumps.
- In a pan on medium heat, add enough vegetable oil to evenly coat the pan.
- Once heated, using a large spoon or ice cream scoop, place the fritter in the pan, flattening with a spatula.
- Fry until golden brown on each side, then place on paper towel to remove excess oil.
- Serve with dipping sauce.
