Prep Time::15 mins

Cook Time::5 mins

Stand Time::10 mins

Total Time::30 mins

Servings::6

Yield::6 zucchini fritters

Ingredients

2 zucchini

1 teaspoon plus 1 pinch coarse salt

1 large egg

2 green onions, finely sliced

1/8 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper, plus more for garnish

3 tablespoons flour

1 tablespoon neutral oil

1/2 cup sour cream

1/4 teaspoon lemon zest, plus more for garnish

1 tablespoon freshly-squeezed lemon juice

1 clove garlic, minced

Directions

Trim and coarsely shred zucchini into a large bowl. Add 1 teaspoon salt; toss to coat. Let stand, stirring occasionally, 10 minutes. Meanwhile, beat together egg, green onions, and pepper in another bowl.

Transfer zucchini to a clean kitchen towel; squeeze to remove as much liquid as possible. Stir zucchini and flour into egg mixture.

Heat a griddle or extra-large cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat. Add oil; brush or swirl to coat pan. Drop mixture in 6 mounds onto the hot griddle, then flatten slightly with a spatula. Cook, turning halfway through, until golden brown on both sides, 5 to 7 minutes.

For lemony sour cream, whisk sour cream, lemon zest, lemon juice, garlic, and remaining pinch of salt together in a small bowl. Sprinkle with zest and pepper; serve with fritters.
