Instructions
Place shredded zucchini in a colander over the sink. Press with a wooden spoon to drain excess liquid. You can then use a clean dish towel or paper towel to squeeze out any additional liquid. This step helps to keep the fritters crispier.
Place zucchini in a large bowl. Add seasonings-garlic, salt, pepper, chives and eggs- Mix well.
Add the flour and baking powder and mix until well combined.
Heat oil in a large skillet over med-high heat.
Drop tablespoons of the batter into the skillet, flattening lightly with a spatula.
Heat until the edges are golden and crispy- about 3 minutes each side.
Remove from the pan and transfer to a paper towel lined plate to cool.
Repeat the process until the batter is gone. Serve immediately. If not serving immediately, keep fritters on a baking sheet in the oven set to warm.
How to Make the Lemon Garlic Aioli Dipping Sauce
In a small bowl, mix together the mayo, lemon juice, garlic, salt & pepper. Stir well to combine and let sit for a few minutes to let the flavors meld. Store covered in the refrigerator if not using right away.
