Step-by-Step Instructions
Starting with the zucchinis, the first step is to grate them. I usually use a box grater because it gives me the perfect texture for the fritters. After grating, I place the zucchini in a clean dish towel and squeeze out as much moisture as possible. This part is crucial; excess moisture can make the fritters watery and prevent that delightful crispy texture. Next, I combine the grated zucchini with flour, Parmesan cheese, eggs, green onions, garlic, salt, black pepper, and paprika (if Iām feeling adventurous). Mix everything well until you have a batter that holds together nicely. (See the next page below to continue steps…)
