1 clove garlic, minced

Instructions:
-
Prepare the Zucchini
Grate the zucchinis using a box grater and place them in a clean kitchen towel or paper towel. Squeeze out the excess water to ensure your fritters are crispy and not soggy. -
Mix the Ingredients
In a large bowl, combine the grated zucchini, egg, flour, minced garlic, salt, and pepper. Stir everything together until well mixed. If the mixture seems too wet, add a bit more flour. -
Form the Fritters
Heat the olive oil in a large pan over medium heat. While the oil heats, form the zucchini mixture into small patties or fritters (about 2 tablespoons each). -
Fry the Fritters
Once the oil is hot, gently place the fritters in the pan, leaving some space between each. Fry for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy. Be sure to flip them carefully. -
Drain and Garnish
Once cooked, place the fritters on a paper towel to drain excess oil. Garnish with fresh parsley or dill for an extra burst of flavor. -
Serve and Enjoy!
Serve immediately with your favorite dip, yogurt, or enjoy them on their own. They’re perfect for any time of the day!
