Instructions
Place the shredded zucchini in a large colander and sprinkle 1/2 teaspoon of salt over it. Let it sit for 15 minutes.
Squeeze all of the excess water out of the zucchini, then pat it dry with a paper towel.
Place the zucchini in a large bowl and add the flour, baking powder, remaining 1/2 teaspoon of salt, pepper, eggs, garlic and green onions. Stir until a batter forms.
Heat the vegetable oil in a large deep pan over medium high heat. Place 2 tablespoon size mounds of the fritter mixture in the pan, then flatten them.
Cook the fritters for 3-4 minutes per side, or until they're golden brown and crispy. Repeat the process with any remaining batter.
