—
Instructions:
1. Prepare Zucchini:
Grate the zucchinis and place them in a colander. Sprinkle with 1/2 tsp salt and let sit for 10 minutes to draw out excess moisture. Squeeze the zucchini with your hands or a clean kitchen towel to remove as much liquid as possible.
2. Make the Batter:
In a mixing bowl, combine the grated zucchini, flour, Parmesan cheese, beaten eggs, minced garlic, and chopped chives. Season with salt and pepper. Mix well until combined.
3. Heat the Pan:
Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add a thin layer of olive oil.
4. Cook the Fritters:
Scoop about 2 tablespoons of the mixture for each fritter into the hot skillet. Flatten slightly with the back of a spoon to form patties. Cook for 2-3 minutes per side or until golden brown and crisp.
5. Drain:
Transfer the fritters to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
6. Serve:
Serve warm with a dollop of sour cream or Greek yogurt and garnish with additional chives or green onions if desired.
