Ingredients
- 2 medium zucchini (about 400 g / 14 oz)
- 6 tbsp all-purpose flour
- 1 tbsp vegetable oil, plus more for frying
- Fresh dill, chopped
- Salt, black pepper, dried garlic to taste
Instructions
- Grate the zucchini, salt it, let sit 15 minutes, then squeeze out the liquid.
- Stir in the flour, oil, spices, and chopped dill.
- Spoon small fritters into a hot lightly oiled skillet and fry until golden and crisp on both sides.
- Serve warm.
Tips
- Squeeze the grated zucchini really well — the drier the mixture, the crisper the fritters.
- Keep the skillet at medium heat so the fritters turn golden without burning.
- For extra flavor, swap half the dill for parsley or chives; find more technique tips at Serious Eats.
