1/2 lb. zucchini, grated with a food processor blade, then squeezed dry with cheesecloth.
Combine zucchini with: 1 egg, lightly beaten; 1/2 tsp. kosher salt; 2 tbsp. minced chives; freshly ground black pepper; 1/4 cup AP flour; 1/4 tsp. baking powder. Mix well.
Deep-fry in olive oil, or another oil of your choice. I usually deep-fry with olive oil whenever possible. Fry for 4-6 minutes on one side, then flip and fry for 4-6 minutes on the other side. Remove to a paper towel-lined plate.
When the fritters are done, transfer to a parchment paper-lined baking sheet and place in a pre-heated 200 F oven for 10-15 minutes so that the fritters can crisp even more.
