Ingredients

  • 1 pound (about 2 medium) zucchini, coarsely grated
  • Coarse salt and ground pepper
  • 1 large egg
  • 2 scallions, finely chopped
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour, (spooned and leveled)
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil
  • Sour cream, for serving

Directions

  1. Place zucchini in a colander set in the sink, and toss with 1 teaspoon salt; let drain 10 minutes. Press out as much liquid as possible.
  2. Whisk egg in a large bowl; mix in zucchini, scallions, flour, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper until combined.
  3. Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Cook fritters in two batches: Drop six mounds of batter (2 tablespoons each) into skillet; flatten slightly. Cook, turning once, until browned, 4 to 6 minutes. Transfer to a papertowel-lined plate; sprinkle with salt. Repeat with remaining batter. Serve immediately, with sour cream.
