1/2 cup all-purpose flour

1/2 teaspoon baking powder

1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese

2 green onions, finely chopped

Salt and pepper to taste

Olive oil for frying

Instructions:

Prepare the Zucchini:

Grate the zucchini into a colander. Sprinkle with a little salt and let sit for 10 minutes. Squeeze out as much liquid as possible to ensure the fritters are not soggy.

Make the Batter:

In a large bowl, combine the grated zucchini, egg, flour, baking powder, Parmesan cheese, and green onions. Season with salt and pepper. Stir until the mixture is well combined and holds together.

Fry the Fritters:

Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Scoop tablespoons of the zucchini mixture into the hot oil, flattening them with the back of a spoon to form small patties.

Fry for about 2-3 minutes on each side or until golden brown and crispy. Drain on paper towels to remove excess oil.

Serve:

Serve the zucchini fritters warm with a dollop of sour cream or a sprinkle of fresh herbs.
