Ingredients

Directions

  • To get zucchini as dry as possible, place grated zucchini in a strainer over the sink. Gently toss with about 1 teaspoon of salt. Allow to set for about 10 minutes. Use cheesecloth or a thin dishtowel to squeeze out remaining water.
  • Preheat oven to 400˚F. Ready a large baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper.
  • In a large mixing bowl, combine zucchini, tomatoes, pesto, egg, flour, Parmesan and black pepper.
  • In a large non-stick skillet, heat olive oil on medium-high setting. Working in batches, pan-fry fritters by dropping heaping spoonfuls of zucchini mixture into the hot oil. Flatten fritters with spatula, if desired. Cook until golden brown and crisp, about 3 minutes per side.
  • Transfer fritters to the baking sheet and bake for 10 minutes.
  • Serve immediately.
