Instructions

Step 1
Wash zucchini and trim off ends. Grate on the large holes of a box grater or using the grater attachment for the food processor. Place zucchini in a large mixing bowl, stir in 1 tsp salt and set aside for 10 minutes.
Step 2
After 10 minutes, squeeze shredded zucchini tightly over the sink to remove extra water. It helps to wring it out in a cheesecloth or a linen towel if you have one. You can also let the zucchini sit in a colander over a large bowl to drain extra liquid. You should end up with 3 1/2 to 4 cups of squeezed shredded zucchini. Transfer to a large mixing bowl.
Step 3
Add chopped green onion, 2 lightly beaten eggs, grated parmesan cheese and minced garlic to the zucchini in the bowl. Add 1/2 cup flour, 1/2 teaspoon baking powder, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper and stir until well combined.
Step 4
Place a large heavy bottomed cast iron or non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Add 2 Tbsp olive oil over medium high heat. Once the oil is hot, add the zucchini mixture a heaping tablespoon at a time and flatten out the tops slightly to make them pancake shaped. Sauté 3-5 minutes per side or until golden brown. If they brown too quickly, reduce the heat. Serve warm with a dollop of sour cream.
Step 5
Salt and squeeze the zucchini well before mixing with the rest of the ingredients. If you skip this step, your fritters will be to watery and won't hold together.
Step 6
Let the oil get hot in the pan before adding the zucchini batter.
Step 7
Adjust the heat of your pan if the fritters start browning too quickly. If the pan is too hot, the middles can still be raw.
