How to Make Zucchini Fritters

I started with four medium zucchinis that I shredded in my food processor. I then put it in a strainer, salted it and let it sit as the excess liquid drained off.

Then I got my helper cracking eggs. Two eggs, some salt, and pepper were whisked together.

We stirred in the zucchini and ยฝ cup of flour.

And then we went off the recipe. Yep, that is grated Parmesan cheese. I dumped about ยฝ cup into the mixture.

Stir it all the zucchini fritter ingredients together.

Then add some EVOO to a skillet and warm up and spoon the mixture into the pan. Let fry on each side for about 2 minutes.

I then, of course, garnished with more Parmesan cheese. The kids and hubs dipped the fritters into ranch dressing. But they dip everything in ranch dressing, so I am not sure it was necessary.

    Oh! A food processor! Brilliant! Why have I been grating by hand?!? These look great... I will have to give them a try with the small mountain of zucchini and yellow squash our garden is still spitting out.

    OK, that looks amazing! And it takes me back to my childhood. My grandma had a great recipe for this type of thing, and I've never been brave enough to try it. =) Yum!!!
