Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Begin by grating the zucchini into a colander. Generously sprinkle with salt and let it rest for 10–15 minutes.
  2. Squeeze the grated zucchini with a clean kitchen towel to remove excess moisture.
  3. In a mixing bowl, whisk the egg until frothy. Add flour, Parmesan, garlic, pepper, and paprika. Stir until smooth.
  4. Gently fold in the drained zucchini and chopped parsley until well combined.
  5. Scoop about 2 tablespoons of the mixture and shape into small patties.

  7. Transfer fritters to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil. Serve warm with a dipping sauce.
