Frittelle di Zucchine

Frittelle di Zucchine are delicious gluten-free zucchini fritters, perfect for a light Italian breakfast. Crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, these fritters are packed with flavor and nutrients.

Ingredients

• Zucchini - 250 grams
• Gluten-free flour - 50 grams
• Egg - 1 large
• Parmesan cheese, grated - 30 grams
• Fresh parsley, chopped - 2 tablespoons
• Garlic, minced - 1 clove
• Baking powder - 1 teaspoon
• Salt - 1/2 teaspoon
• Black pepper - 1/4 teaspoon
• Olive oil - for frying

Steps

1. Grate the zucchini using a box grater and place it in a clean kitchen towel, wringing out excess moisture.
2. In a mixing bowl, combine the grated zucchini, gluten-free flour, egg, grated Parmesan cheese, chopped parsley, minced garlic, baking powder, salt, and black pepper.
3. Mix all ingredients until well combined to form a thick batter.
4. Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add enough olive oil to coat the bottom.
5. Using a spoon or small ice cream scoop, drop spoonfuls of the zucchini mixture into the hot skillet, flattening slightly.
6. Cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side or until golden brown and crispy.
7. Once cooked, transfer the fritters to a paper towel-lined plate to absorb excess oil.
8. Serve warm, optionally with a dollop of yogurt or a side of fresh tomatoes.
