For extra flavor, consider adding a pinch of red pepper flakes to the batter. Adjust seasoning to your preference. Ensure the zucchini is thoroughly drained; otherwise, the fritters may become soggy. Crème fraîche offers a richer, slightly tangier alternative to sour cream. Serve immediately for the best crispy texture.

Follow The Directions
01
Step
10 mins
In a mixing bowl, combine the finely grated zucchini with 0.5 teaspoon of sea salt. Gently mix and allow it to sit for 10 minutes to draw out excess moisture. (Time: 10 minutes)
02
Step
5 mins
Place the zucchini mixture in a clean kitchen towel or cheesecloth. Squeeze firmly to remove as much liquid as possible. This step is crucial for achieving crispy fritters.
03
Step
2 mins
In a separate bowl, whisk the egg until lightly beaten. Add the flour, Parmesan cheese, and the remaining 0.25 teaspoon of sea salt and black pepper. Mix well to combine.
04
Step
2 mins
Incorporate the drained zucchini into the egg and cheese mixture. Stir until a cohesive batter forms.
05
Step
2 mins
Heat a generous amount of olive oil in a medium-sized skillet over medium-high heat. Ensure the oil is hot enough to sizzle gently when a small amount of batter is dropped in.
06
Step
6 mins
Carefully drop spoonfuls of the zucchini batter into the hot oil, being mindful not to overcrowd the pan. Fry the fritters until they turn a beautiful golden brown on both sides, approximately 2-3 minutes per side. (Time: 4-6 minutes per batch)
07
Step
2 mins
Remove the fritters from the pan and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil. Sprinkle immediately with additional grated Parmesan cheese and a pinch of flaky sea salt.
08
Step
1 mins
Serve the Zucchini-Parmesan Fritters immediately while they are hot and crispy. Offer with a dollop of crème fraîche for a cooling contrast. Enjoy!
