# How to Make It:
01 -
Place grated zucchini in a colander, sprinkle with salt, and let sit for 10–15 minutes to extract moisture. Squeeze thoroughly in a clean kitchen towel to remove excess liquid.
02 -
In a large mixing bowl, combine squeezed zucchini, flour, Parmesan, black pepper, and garlic powder. Add beaten eggs and mix until a cohesive batter forms.
03 -
Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Scoop tablespoonfuls of batter into the skillet, flatten gently. Fry 2–3 minutes per side until golden brown and crisp. Cook in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding.
04 -
While fritters cook, combine sour cream, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper in a small bowl. Mix until smooth.
05 -
Arrange fritters on a serving platter. Add a small dollop of cream cheese to each, then spoon over the sour cream mixture. Garnish generously with chopped fresh chives.
# Additional Tips:

For optimal crispness, dry zucchini thoroughly before mixing with other ingredients.
