How to make Healthy Zucchini Fritters
All set? Great! Now grate the zucchinis into a tea towel and wring out the excess water (yes, ALL of it – it will be a lot!). Do NOT skip this step. Next, combine all ingredients (including zucchini) and mix well. Then fry the fritters for about 10 minutes. That’s it. You’re done. That was easy, wasn’t it?
