Gluten-Free JOC Appetizer: Crispy Zucchini Fritters

Ingredients:

2 medium zucchinis, grated
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup gluten-free all-purpose flour
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon onion powder
1 large egg, beaten
Olive oil for frying

Instructions:

Place the grated zucchini in a colander or fine-mesh sieve over a bowl. Sprinkle with salt and let it sit for about 10 minutes to draw out excess moisture.

After 10 minutes, use your hands or a clean kitchen towel to squeeze out as much liquid from the grated zucchini as possible.

In a mixing bowl, combine the squeezed zucchini, gluten-free all-purpose flour, grated Parmesan cheese, chopped fresh parsley, garlic powder, onion powder, and beaten egg. Mix until all ingredients are well combined.

Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and add enough olive oil to coat the bottom.

Scoop a spoonful of the zucchini mixture and drop it into the hot skillet. Flatten it slightly with a spatula to form a fritter. Repeat with more mixture, leaving space between each fritter in the skillet.

Cook the zucchini fritters for about 3-4 minutes per side or until they are golden brown and crispy. You may need to work in batches.

Remove the crispy zucchini fritters from the skillet and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to absorb any excess oil.

Serve the gluten-free Crispy Zucchini Fritters hot as an appetizer, snack, or side dish.
