Equipment

  • Blackstone griddle or other outdoor griddle

Ingredients
  

  • 1 large zucchini (about 12 oz or 340 g)
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1 large egg lightly beaten
  • ⅓ cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh chives
  • 1 teaspoon all-purpose seasoning
  • ½ teaspoon lemon zest
  • ¼ teaspoon baking powder
  • Oil or cooking spray for cooking
  • Sour cream for serving (optional)

Instructions
 

  • Grate the zucchini on the large holes of a box grater into a large bowl.
  • Scoop the zucchini into a fine mesh sieve set over the bowl or the sink and sprinkle with the salt. Toss to combine. Let the zucchini sit for 15 minutes.
  • Use the back of a spoon to firmly press the zucchini against the sieve to remove as much water as possible. Alternatively, scoop the zucchini into a kitchen towel and twist both ends to squeeze out the water.
  • Discard the zucchini liquid and return the grated and drained zucchini to the large bowl.
  • Add the egg, flour, chives, all-purpose seasoning, lemon zest, and baking powder and mix gently to combine.
  • Spray a baking sheet with cooking spray or slick with oil. Using wet hands, gently shape the zucchini mixture into 2-tablespoon sized patties and place on the baking sheet. You should get about 6 patties.
  • Heat the Blackstone or other griddle to medium and coat with cooking spray or slick with oil.
  • Use a metal spatula to gently transfer the zucchini fritters from the baking sheet to the griddle. Cook, flipping once, until golden brown and fluffy, about 5 minutes per side.
  • Serve immediately, with sour cream for dipping, if desired.

Notes

  • Squeeze the squash!--Take care to remove as much water as possible from the zucchini to avoid soggy fritters. You'll be surprised at how much liquid it has!
  • Dietary--This recipe is suitable for dairy-free and vegetarian diets.
