Instructions

For the fritters

Using the large holes of a box grater, grate the zucchini. Toss with 1 teaspoon of salt and transfer to a colander set over a medium bowl. The salt will help draw out some of this moisture. Wait 30 minutes, then squeeze excess moisture with your hands or a clean dishcloth.
Place zucchini in a large bowl. Stir in the eggs, garlic, and herbs. Then, stir in the flour and cheese.
Heat the oil in a medium skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, drop three heaping tablespoons of batter per fritter in the skillet and fry on both sides until nicely browned. Place the fried fritters on paper towels to drain.
Serve immediately while crispy. Serve with whipped ricotta cheese, a dollop of sour cream, and a sprig of fresh herb for garnish.
