– ½ cup all-purpose flour (or gluten-free flour)

Instructions
Follow these simple steps to create your amazing Zucchini Fritters:
1. Prep the Zucchini: Grate the zucchinis using a box grater or food processor. Place them in a clean dish towel and squeeze out excess moisture.
2. Mix Salt With Zucchini: In a bowl, combine the grated zucchini with salt. Let it sit for about 10 minutes, allowing the salt to draw out extra moisture.
3. Combine Ingredients: In another bowl, mix the flour, eggs, grated Parmesan cheese, black pepper, garlic powder, green onions, and parsley.
4. Add Zucchini to Mixture: After 10 minutes, add the drained zucchini to the bowl with the mixture. Stir until everything is well combined.
5. Heat the Oil: In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat until shimmering.
6. Form Fritters: Scoop a spoonful of the zucchini mixture into the skillet and flatten it slightly with the back of the spoon. Repeat with the rest of the mixture, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan.
7. Fry Until Golden: Cook each fritter for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy.
8. Drain Excess Oil: Remove the fritters from the skillet and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to absorb excess oil.
9. Serve Warm: Enjoy immediately while warm, or let them cool and store them for later.
By following these steps, you’ll have crispy and flavorful Zucchini Fritters ready to impress your family and friends!
