Ingredients

Original recipe (1X) yields 25 servings

  • 6 eggs

  • 3 zucchinis, shredded

  • 1 zucchini, diced

  • 1 teaspoon salt

  • 3 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese

  • ¼ cup chopped fresh basil

  • 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour

Directions

  1. Beat the eggs in a mixing bowl with a wire whisk until smooth. Stir in the shredded and diced zucchini, then season with salt, pepper, Parmesan cheese, and basil. Add the flour a little at a time, stirring between additions until no dry lumps remain.

  2. Heat the oil in a large skillet to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).

  3. Drop the batter into the hot oil by the spoonful a few at a time making sure not to overcrowd the oil. Cook until the fritters are golden brown on each side, about 4 minutes. Drain on a paper towel-lined plate before serving.
