Instructions

Shred zucchini, sprinkle with salt, and let sit for 10 minutes.
Squeeze out excess moisture using a clean dish towel or cheesecloth.
In a bowl, mix zucchini with eggs, flour, onions, herbs, garlic, baking powder, and seasoning.
Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat. Drop 2 tablespoons of batter per fritter, flatten slightly.
Fry 3–4 minutes per side until golden and crisp. Drain on paper towels.
Serve warm with dipping sauce or toppings of choice.
