Preparing Crispy Zucchini Fritters

After combining everything in a mixing bowl, it’s all about frying until golden brown. The whole cooking experience is a joyful one, filling your home with inviting smells that will have everyone gathering in the kitchen.
What you’ll need
Here’s what you’ll need to make these delightful fritters:

- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
