Equipment

Ingredients

2 cups Grated Zucchini approximately 3 medium-sized zucchini
2 Egg Whites
1 teaspoon Garlic Powder
Salt and Pepper to taste
½ cup All-Purpose Flour
2 Tablespoons Parmesan Cheese Grated
1 cup Panko-style Breadcrumbs
2 cups Oil as needed

Cups - Metric

Instructions

Shred your zucchini using a grater. After grating, place the shredded zucchini on a paper towel and lightly salt it to help draw out any excess water.
In a small bowl, add your breadcrumbs and set aside for later use.
In another large bowl, combine the grated cheese, flour, and seasonings. Add in the shredded zucchini and egg whites, then mix everything until well combined.
Take portions of the mixture and form them into patties. Gently dip each patty into the set-aside breadcrumbs to coat it.
Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat. Place the patties in the skillet and cook on each side for a few minutes until golden brown.
Once cooked, serve the zucchini fritters while fresh and warm. Enjoy!

Notes

Drizzle with lemon juice at the end for added flavor.
You need to press the bread crumbs on the fritters to ensure they stick.
I like using a large skillet to fit more fritter patties. Then, place on a paper towel-lined plate to help remove excess grease.
I used the large holes of a box grater to shred the zucchini mixture. It works great.
Mix in fresh herbs for elevated flour if you want.
Feel free to use a gluten-free all purpose flour if you want to make them gluten-free
Dip in Greek yogurt if you don’t want sour cream.
