- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- Cooking spray (for frying)
Optional for serving:
- Low-fat sour cream or Greek yogurt
- Chopped parsley or chives for garnish
Instructions:
Step 1: Prepare the Zucchini
- Grate the zucchini using a box grater.
- Place grated zucchini in a clean kitchen towel and squeeze out as much liquid as possible. This step is crucial to prevent soggy fritters.

- Parmesan cheese
- Beaten egg
- Green onions
- Garlic powder
- Salt and pepper
- Mix until evenly combined.
Step 3: Cook the Fritters
- Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and spray with cooking spray.
- Scoop about 2 tablespoons of the mixture for each fritter and drop it onto the skillet. Flatten slightly with a spatula.
- Cook for 2–3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and crispy.
- Repeat until all fritters are cooked.
Step 4: Serve
- Serve warm with a dollop of low-fat sour cream or Greek yogurt.
- Garnish with chopped parsley or chives.
Tips:
- Get Crispy Fritters: Make sure the zucchini is well-drained and don’t overcrowd the skillet.
