Easy to make, low in carbohydrates and calories, these zucchini fritters are a wonderful way to get some veggies in your day. The ingredient list is simple but they will yield a delicious result. It’s a perfect appetizer or side dish with a side of Greek yogurt or ranch dressing. It may take a few tries before getting the proper crispy texture – the key is to remove as much water as possible from the zucchini after grating. Using the cheesecloth is the best and most effective method.
¡Buen provecho!
