- 80 g Parmigiano Reggiano cheese (parmesan cheese)
- 100 g chickpea flour
- 1 small bunch parsley leaves
- 1 garlic clove
- 1 tsp baking powder
- ¼ cup oil for frying (I’ve used extra virgin olive oil)
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Grate the zucchini using a box grater, leave aside for 10 minutes then squeeze out the excess liquid. Add to a large bowl
- Grate parmesan cheese and a garlic clove. Finely chop parsley and add all to the same bowl. Mix to combine
- Add chickpea flour, season with salt and pepper. Mix to combine
- Add 3-4 tablespoons of the zucchini water and baking powder to the bowl and stir together to create a soft batter which has binded together(If needed, add more of the zucchini water slowly to get the right consistency without it becoming watery)
- Heat some of the the oil in a skillet or pan on medium-high heat and spoon a tablespoon of the batter into the pan. Flatten gently with the back of the spoon to make a circle and repeat with the rest of the batterFry for a few minutes and flip each fritter until both sides are golden brown.
- Place the cooked zucchini fritters on paper towels to draw out the excess oil and enjoy your Zucchini Fritters hot or cold :)
