For dinner, make them a little larger, add a grilled piece of meat or fish, and top with fresh salsa. Level Intermediate Prep Time 10-15 minutes Cook Time 6-8 minutes Serves 12-14 Cook it With Our 12 Inch Cast Iron Skillet Ingredients 1 pound zucchini (8-10 small or 2 large), ends trimmed 1 cup (4 ounces) grated Parmesan cheese 1/2 cup chopped green onions 1/2 cup all-purpose flour 1 tablespoon baking powder 1 large egg, beaten Juice and grated zest of 1 lemon Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper Hot sauce 1/2 cup blended olive oil Directions Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Using the large holes of a box grater, grate the zucchini onto a clean kitchen towel. Carefully squeeze out the liquid and discard it. In a large bowl, combine the zucchini, Parmesan, and green onions and mix well. In a small bowl, mix the flour and baking powder well. Add to the zucchini mixture along with the egg and lemon juice and zest; mix well. Season to taste with salt, pepper, and hot sauce. Heat 1/4 cup of the oil in a 12 Inch Cast Iron Skillet over medium heat. Spoon a heaping tablespoonful of the batter into the hot oil for each fritter, slightly pressing the batter down to form the cake. Fry until golden and crispy, about 2 minutes per side. As the fritters finish cooking, transfer them to a parchment paper-lined baking sheet and place in the oven to keep warm. Continue frying until all of the batter is used; add more of the remaining 1/4 cup oil to the skillet as needed.
