Instructions

Grate the zucchini using a box grater with larger holes and place the grated zucchini into a mesh bag or cheese cloth. Squeeze out as much liquid as possible.
Combine the squeezed zucchini with the remaining ingredients in a mixing bowl and mix well until fully combined.
Preheat a large pan over medium heat. Add oil and use a scoop to portion the zucchini mixture, shaping it into fritters with your hands before placing them in the pan.
Cook fritters for 4-6 minutes on each side until golden brown, being careful not to disturb them until it's time to flip.
If cooking multiple batches, add more oil to the pan as needed.

Notes

Squeeze out as much moisture from the zucchini as possible before mixing.
Cook on medium to medium-low heat to ensure the inside cooks thoroughly without burning the outside.
If necessary, adjust oil levels between batches for even cooking.
