Ingredients
Scale
- 3 tbsp avocado oil
- 2 cups shredded zucchini – squeezed
- 1 cup panko bread crumbs
- 2 eggs
- 1/3 cup fresh grated parmesan cheese
- 1/4 cup finely shredded mozzarella cheese
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp fresh cracked black pepper
Instructions
- Grate the zucchini using a box grater and transfer to a mesh bag or cheese cloth. Squeeze out as much liquid as possible.
- Place the squeezed zucchini in a mixing bowl and add the remaining ingredients. Mix thoroughly.
- Preheat a large pan over medium heat and add oil. Use an ice cream scoop to place even amounts of the mixture into the pan, shaping them gently.
- Cook the fritters for 4-6 minutes on each side. Avoid disturbing them until it's time to flip for best results.
- If cooking multiple batches, add more oil to the pan as needed.
Notes
Squeezing excess moisture from the zucchini is crucial to prevent soggy fritters.
Cooking at medium to medium-low temperature will ensure that the fritters cook evenly without burning.
Let the fritters rest briefly before serving for the best texture.
