How to cook deliciously - Parmesan Zucchini Fritters

1. Stage

Using the large holes of a box grater, shred zucchini. Place zucchini in a colander or fine-mesh sieve, then toss with 1 teaspoon salt. Let sit over a bowl or in the sink so salt can draw out excess moisture from zucchini, about 15 minutes.

2. Stage

Transfer drained zucchini to a clean, dry kitchen towel. Thoroughly wring out as much moisture as possible, then transfer zucchini to a medium bowl (you should have about 2 packed cups). Stir in egg and garlic. Add Parmesan, cornstarch, bread crumbs, pepper, and 1 teaspoon salt. Using a rubber spatula, mix until no dry pockets remain, making sure to scrape sides of bowl.

3. Stage

In a 10" skillet over medium heat, heat oil. Test temperature by dropping a small piece of batter into oil; you should immediately see large bubbles around the edges.

4. Stage

Scoop 2 tablespoons batter and flatten with your hands into thin discs. Carefully place in oil and fry, undisturbed, until edges turn golden, about 2 minutes. Turn and cook until other side is golden brown, 1 to 2 minutes more.

5. Stage

Transfer fritters to a baking sheet fitted with a wire rack; immediately season with a pinch of salt. Repeat with remaining batter. Serve warm with marinara sauce alongside.
