Wash the zucchini, trim the ends, and grate them using the shredding side of a box grater. Place the grated zucchini in a bowl and sprinkle with 1/2 teaspoon of salt. Mix well and let it sit for 15-20 minutes to draw out excess moisture.

Squeeze the grated zucchini thoroughly with your hands to remove as much liquid as possible. You can also place it between paper towels and squeeze. Discard the liquid.

In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs. Add the squeezed zucchini, flour, baking powder, salt, and pepper. Mix until just combined. The batter should be thick.

Heat about 1/4 inch of vegetable oil in a large skillet or frying pan over medium heat. The oil should be hot but not smoking.

Carefully drop spoonfuls of the zucchini batter into the hot oil, flattening them slightly with the back of the spoon. Do not overcrowd the pan.

Fry for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and crispy. Flip carefully with a spatula.

💡 Профессиональные советы
- ✓Ensure the zucchini is well-drained to achieve a crispy texture.
