Ingredients

• 3 large zucchini, finely grated
• 1/2 teaspoon salt

Batter:

• 1 egg
• 5 tablespoons all-purpose flour
• 4 tablespoons Parmesan cheese
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• ground black pepper to taste
• oil for frying

Toppings:

• 1 tablespoon grated Parmesan cheese, or to taste
• 1 pinch salt
• 1/4 cup sour cream, for topping

Directions

1. Combine zucchini and salt in a bowl and stir to combine. Set aside for 10 minutes. Pour mixture onto a clean dish towel or cheesecloth and squeeze to drain completely.
2. Whisk egg in a bowl and add flour, Parmesan cheese, salt, and pepper. Stir in drained zucchini and mix well.
3. Heat oil in a medium-sized pan over medium-high heat. Add batter by the tablespoon. Cook fritters until golden brown on both sides, about 5 minutes per batch. Transfer to a serving plate and sprinkle with Parmesan cheese and salt. Serve immediately with sour cream.
