Instructions
- Place the grated zucchini in a colander, sprinkle with ½ teaspoon salt, and let it sit for 10 minutes to draw out moisture.
- After 10 minutes, wrap the zucchini in a clean kitchen towel or cheesecloth and squeeze out as much liquid as possible.
- In a large bowl, combine the flour, Parmesan cheese, beaten egg, and minced garlic.
- Add the drained zucchini to the bowl and mix until well combined. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
- Scoop tablespoonfuls of the zucchini mixture into the skillet, flattening them slightly with the back of the spoon.
- Fry the fritters for about 2 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy.
- Transfer the cooked fritters to a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.
- Serve warm, optionally with a dollop of sour cream or your favorite dipping sauce.

Notes

- You can add chopped herbs like parsley or chives for additional flavor.
