Ingredients:
2 medium courgettes (zucchini)
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
2 large eggs
2 cloves of garlic, minced
1/4 teaspoon baking powder
Salt and pepper to taste
2 tablespoons olive oil for frying
Essential tools:
Grater
Bowls for mixing
Whisky
A non-stick skillet
A spatula
To drain, use paper towels.
Time spent preparing:

Ten minutes to cook
Twenty-five minutes in total.
Directions:
Get the courgettes ready:
Clean the courgettes and grate them. Squeeze off as much water as you can from the grated courgettes using a fresh kitchen towel or cheesecloth. To guarantee that your fritters are crispy and not soggy, this step is essential.
To prepare the batter:
Combine the eggs, flour, grated Parmesan cheese, baking powder, salt, pepper, and minced garlic in a mixing bowl. Mix thoroughly after adding the drained courgettes.
Heat the oil:
In a non-stick skillet over medium heat, warm the olive oil. Use a tiny drop of batter to test the oil's temperature; it should sizzle right away.
Cook the fritters:
By gently adding pieces of the mixture to the pan using a spoon. Using the back of the spoon, gently flatten to create spherical fritters. Cook until golden brown, 2 to 3 minutes per side.
Drain and serve:
After taking the fritters out of the pan, lay them out on paper towels to soak up any remaining oil. Serve warm with your favorite dipping sauce or a dollop of sour cream.
