Notes:

Many a zucchini dish has been compromised due to excess moisture. Don’t become another statistic! It’s vitally important to get your grated zucchini bits as dry as possible before cooking them up.

There are a couple of ways you can do this. If you have a really fine sieve, you can mash the zucchini up against it with a spoon or ladle.

You can also use muslin and squeeze out the liquid. It’s probably going to take a couple of rounds. Don’t get lazy here – getting out the last drops will pay off in the end.

Once they’re assembled, it’s going to be in your best interest to handle the fritters as little as possible. Let them fry for a good couple of minutes and then gently turn them over just once. They’ll finish in the oven.

These zucchini fritters do not contain eggs (or a similar binding agent), so sometimes they want to fall apart on you. Plan on using cutlery to chow down on these fritters.

They’re particularly delicious right out of the oven, with some fresh avocado.
