Delicious and crispy spicy zucchini fritters that are perfect as a snack or appetizer.

Scale
- 2 medium zucchinis, grated

- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- Oil for frying
Instructions
- Grate the zucchinis and sprinkle with salt. Let them sit for 10 minutes to draw out moisture.

- Heat oil in a frying pan over medium heat.
- Drop spoonfuls of the zucchini mixture into the hot oil and flatten slightly.
- Fry until golden brown on both sides, about 3-4 minutes per side.
- Remove from the pan and drain on paper towels.
- Serve hot with your favorite dipping sauce.
Notes
- For a gluten-free version, substitute all-purpose flour with a gluten-free flour blend.
- Adjust the amount of red pepper flakes to control the spiciness.
