For these fritters, you will need 2 pieces of medium-sized zucchini, 1 teaspoon of salt, 50 grams of fresh green onion, 1 big egg, 1 cup of wheat flour, 1/2 teaspoon of ground black pepper, olive oil to grease the pan.

Congratulations! Fritters are best served with sour cream that in Russia we call “smetana.” By the way, they can also be served as a side dish, for example, to fish. As additives, you can use carrots and cheese, as well as add spices – garlic, oregano, basil. Serve the fritters hot or warm. Zucchini fritters are very tender, soft, with a light crisp, with a rich vegetable taste and aroma – a great and easy meal to try.

If you are worried about your diet – no problem! Decrease the amount of wheat flour to ½ cup, but make sure to wring out the maximum of water from vegetables. Enjoy your meal!
