Southern France Zucchini Fritters are a delicious and simple appetizer that are perfect for any occasion. The fritters are made by combining grated zucchini with flour, egg, and olive oil, and then frying them until golden brown and crispy on the outside.

Instructions

1.	In a large bowl, combine the grated zucchini and flour.
2.	In a separate bowl, whisk the egg white until it forms stiff peaks and set aside.

4.	Gently fold the egg whites into the zucchini mixture until just combined.
5.	Heat a few tablespoons of oil in a large frying pan over medium-high heat. Spoon the zucchini mixture into the pan in heaping tablespoons and flatten slightly with a spatula.
6.	Cook the fritters for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through.
7.	Transfer the fritters to a plate lined with paper towels to cool and absorb any excess oil.
