Servings -17
Ingredients
- 1-1/2 lbs. grated zucchini
- 1/2 + teaspoon kosher salt + more for seasoning
- 1 large egg, slightly whisked
- 1/4 cup unbleached all-purpose flour
- 3 + tablespoons chives, finely chopped + more for garnish
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- freshly ground black pepper
- 1/3 cup canola oil
- 1 cup Greek yogurt for serving
Instructions
- Place grated zucchini in a colander over a large bowl. Add 1/2 teaspoon of salt and mix. Let stand for 10 minutes. Gently press the zucchini in the colander to drain moisture. Transfer the zucchini to a clean tea towel and wring out the excess liquid. In a large bowl, transfer the zucchini and gently fold in the egg, flour, chives, and cornstarch; season with salt and pepper.
- In a large sauté pan add the oil and heat over medium-high heat. Working in two batches, measure out 1/4 cup of zucchini mixture per fritter and drop into the pan, flattening with a spatula. Sauté for about 3-4 minutes per side or until golden and turning crispy. Transfer to a paper towel lined baking sheet and season with salt. Serve with a dollop of Greek yogurt.
