In a mixing bowl, combine the zucchini, flour, Parmesan, egg, garlic, green onions, black pepper, and baking powder (if using). Mix until well combined.
04 -
Scoop small portions of the mixture and shape into patties, about 2 inches wide.

Heat vegetable oil in a skillet over medium heat. Fry the fritters in batches for 2-3 minutes per side until golden brown and crispy.

Transfer fritters to a plate lined with paper towels to absorb excess oil. Serve warm with sour cream or Greek yogurt, and garnish with fresh parsley.
