Equipment

  • Box Grater
  • mixing bowl
  • skillet
  • cheesecloth

Ingredients
  

  • 2 lb zucchini about 2 large or 5 medium
  • 1.5 teaspoon fine sea salt divided
  • 2 large eggs lightly beaten
  • 0.5 cup chopped green onions
  • 0.75 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 0.5 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • olive oil for sautéing
  • sour cream to serve

Instructions
 

  • Wash zucchini and trim off ends. Grate on the large holes of a box grater or use the grater attachment for the food processor. Place zucchini in a large mixing bowl, stir in 1 teaspoon salt, and set aside for 10 minutes.
  • After 10 minutes, squeeze handfuls of zucchini tightly over the sink to remove extra water. It helps to wring it out in a cheesecloth if you have one. Transfer to a large mixing bowl.
  • Add chopped green onions and lightly beaten eggs.
  • In a small bowl, stir together flour with baking powder, remaining salt, and black pepper. Add flour mixture into zucchini mixture and stir until well combined.
  • Place a skillet over medium heat and add olive oil. Once the oil is hot, add the zucchini mixture a heaping tablespoon at a time and flatten out the tops slightly. Sauté for 3-5 minutes per side or until golden brown. Serve warm with sour cream.

Notes

Cooking the fritters in 2 separate skillets will cut the cooking time in half. Use a trigger-release ice cream scoop to easily scoop the mixture and create equal-sized fritters.
