With it being the middle of July we can finally begin to reap benefits from our harvest! Though I did not grow these zucchini’s myself, my mom gave me TONS from the farmers market. After making 2 loafs if zucchini bread [I recommend trying out my chocolate zucchini bread], I was not sure what else to make. I came across this zucchini fritter recipe from Bon Appetit and I figured it was the perfect side dish. It was a fantastic use of the zucchini that is great on it’s own or topped with your own creation.
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 LBS Zucchini, grated
- 1/2 TSP Salt
- 1 Large Egg
- 1/4 Cup All Purpose Flour
- 3 TBSP Chives, finely chopped
- 1 TBSP Cornstarch
- Fresh Cracked Pepper
- 1/3 Vegetable Oil
Let’s Get Cooking
Place the zucchini in a strainer and toss with 1/2 tsp salt. Let sit for 10 minutes then wring the zucchini dry with a cheese cloth or kitchen towel.
Place the zucchini in a large bowl, add in the egg + flour + chives + cornstarch + salt + pepper.
Heat the oil in a large skillet over MED heat. Working in batches, drop 1/4 cupfuls into the skillet, flattening slightly. Cook until golden, about 3 sides each. Transfer to a paper-towel lined plate & season with salt.
Serve warm.
Made with Love,
