Instructions

Grate the zucchini using a box grater and place it in a mesh bag or cheese cloth. Squeeze out as much liquid as possible to prevent sogginess.
In a mixing bowl, combine the squeezed zucchini with the remaining ingredients and mix until well incorporated.
Preheat a large pan over medium heat. Once hot, add oil and scoop even amounts of the zucchini mixture into the pan, shaping them into fritters as you go.
Cook each fritter for 4-6 minutes per side. Avoid disturbing them until it's time to flip to prevent them from breaking.
If cooking multiple batches, add additional oil between batches as needed.

Notes

Ensure you squeeze out all moisture from the zucchini to keep the fritters from becoming soggy.
Cook fritters on medium to medium-low heat for the best texture.
Only flip the fritters once to help maintain their shape.
