Zucchini Fritters Recipe

- Prep time: 10 minutes
- Cook time: 20 minutes
- Zucchini resting time: 10 minutes
- Yield: Serves 4
You can easily substitute the fresh
herbs with 1/2 teaspoon or so of dried herbs such as Italian seasoning.
A variation that several commenters
have mentioned is to add a bit of cumin and feta to the mixture. You can also
separate the egg and whip up the egg white and fold back in for lighter and
fluffier fritters.
Ingredients
- 1 lb of zucchini (about 3 medium sized), coarsely grated
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 large egg
- 1/2 cup all purpose flour
- 3 green onions, minced
- 1 teaspoon minced fresh thyme
- 1 teaspoon minced fresh basil
- 1/2 teaspoon lemon zest
- 1 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 cup of olive oil, grapeseed oil, or canola oil
- 1/2 cup sour cream (can sub Greek yogurt)
- 1 clove garlic, minced, about 1 teaspoon
- 1/2 teaspoon lemon zest
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- Pinch of salt
Method
1
Salt the grated zucchini with about 1 teaspoon of salt. Place in a sieve or
colander over a bowl. Let sit for 10 minutes. Press down with a wooden spoon to
push out more of the water. Wrap in paper towels and try to squeeze out more
liquid.
2
While the zucchini is releasing its liquid in step one, make the dipping sauce.
Whisk together the sour cream, minced garlic, lemon zest, lemon juice, and a
pinch of salt into a medium bowl and set aside.
3 Whisk
egg in a large bowl. Add the grated zucchini, flour, minced green onions,
thyme, basil, lemon zest, salt and pepper. Mix to combine well.
4 Heat
oil in a large skillet (we recommend a 10-inch cast iron skillet) over medium
high heat until the oil is shimmery and hot. Test the oil by flicking a little
flour into it. If the flour sizzles it's ready. Cook the fritters in batches.
Drop heaping tablespoons of batter into the skillet. Flatten slightly with
the back end of a spoon or spatula. Cook, turning once, until browned, 4-6
minutes on each side. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate. Sprinkle with
salt. Repeat with remaining batter.
Serve immediately, with sour
cream dipping sauce.
Fritters can be reheated by placing
on a sheet pan under a broiler for a minute or two.
