Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 ½ pounds zucchini (about 4 medium zucchini)
  • 1 egg
  • 1 ½ teaspoon salt (divided)
  • 3 garlic cloves (minced)
  • ½ cup gluten free all purpose flour
  • ¼ cup parmesan
  • ¼ cup fresh green onion
  • ⅛ cup fresh dill (chopped)
  • ½ teaspoon baking powder
  • ¼ teaspoon pepper

Method
 

  1. Grate zucchini and place in a bowl. Sprinkle with 1 teaspoon salt, mix, and let sit for 30 minutes to release moisture. Squeeze dry with a cheesecloth and return to the bowl.
  2. Mix in the egg, then add all remaining ingredients: gluten-free flour, parmesan, green onion, dill, baking powder, pepper, and remaining salt. Stir until a sticky batter forms.
  3. Heat a large pan over medium-high heat with about a tablespoon of oil. Shape the zucchini mixture into thin fritters and add them to the hot pan.
  4. Fry fritters in batches for 3-5 minutes per side, until golden brown and crisp. Remove from pan and serve immediately with lemon wedges and your favorite dipping sauce, like tzatziki.

Notes

- Squeeze out as much liquid as possible from the zucchini for ultimate crispiness.
- Don't overcrowd the pan when frying; cook in batches for even browning.
- Serve immediately for the best texture, with a cooling dip like tzatziki or sour cream.
