Vegetarian zucchini fritters

Step 1

It’s very important that your grated zucchini is drained of all its liquid, place it in a sieve or colander for 10 minutes to let it drain out. Once it’s drained, remove any remaining excess liquid by placing it in a linen dish towel or using a cheesecloth, and squeeze until it’s all removed

Step 2

Then place the shredded zucchini in a large bowl along with your flour, baking powder, scallions or green onions, garlic, vegetarian parmesan cheese, egg, fresh rosemary, fresh thyme, salt, and freshly ground black pepper and stir to combine to form a batter

Step 3

Add olive oil to a large skillet over medium-high heat, when hot, take a couple of tablespoonfuls of the zucchini batter and place it in the oil. Use a spatula to flatten it into a fritter shape and cook for approximately 2 minutes until the underside is golden brown and then flip it over and cook for a further 1 – 2 minutes

Step 4

Transfer the cooked fritters to a plate with paper towels on to soak up any excess oil. Serve your zucchini fritters immediately and enjoy!
