Ingredients

Scale

2 grandes courgettes
1/2 cuillère à café sel
1 oeuf
60 g farine
50 g fromage râpé

Instructions

Rinse and grate the zucchinis using a coarse grater. Place in a bowl and sprinkle with salt. Mix well and let it sit for about 10 minutes to allow moisture to drain.
After 10 minutes, place a clean kitchen towel over the zucchini and squeeze out excess liquid to ensure crispier fritters.
Add the egg, flour, and grated cheese to the drained zucchini. Stir until well combined; the mixture should be thick and slightly sticky. If it's too watery, gradually incorporate more flour.
Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add enough olive oil to coat the bottom of the pan.
Spoon portions of the mixture into the skillet, flattening them slightly. Cook for 5 to 7 minutes or until the bottoms are golden brown.
Flip the fritters and cook the other side for an additional 5 to 7 minutes until both sides are crispy.
Transfer the cooked fritters to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil. Serve warm, with your choice of dipping sauce.
