Zucchini Fritters Cooking Tips:

Salting and draining: After grating the zucchini, it’s essential to sprinkle it with salt and let it sit for about 10 minutes. This helps draw out excess moisture, preventing the fritters from becoming too soggy.

Resting time: Allowing the combined mixture to rest for about 15 minutes before cooking helps the ingredients meld and ensures better texture and taste.

Before frying: Add just enough oil to cover the bottom of your frying pan. Make sure it’s hot before popping the fritters in. If you skip this step, the fritters will take on the oil and become soggy.

Frying technique: When frying the zucchini balls, use a non-stick pan or add enough oil to prevent sticking. Aim to achieve a golden-brown crust on both sides, typically taking 3-4 minutes per side.

Don’t crowd: Cook the fritters in batches, about 3-4 at a time so you don’t overcrowd your pan. Add more oil if it dries out completely.
