Zucchini Fritters

Zucchini fritters are one of the most reliable ways to work through a summer surplus of zucchini, which always seems to show up in gardens and markets faster than anyone can eat it plain. They come together quickly, need no oven, and tend to win over people — kids especially — who aren’t usually enthusiastic about zucchini on its own.

The main technical challenge is excess liquid. Zucchini is about 95% water, and if it isn’t drawn out ahead of time, the batter turns watery and the fritters end up steaming in their own juice instead of frying, falling apart the moment you try to flip them. That’s why the salting-and-squeezing step can’t be skipped — it does more for the final texture than anything else in the recipe.
