    Ingredients
      

    • 2 large zucchini
    • ½ teaspoon sea salt
    • 2 large eggs
    • ⅔ cup panko breadcrumbs
    • ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
    • 2 cups chopped ramps or thinly sliced green onions
    • 6 tablespoons all-purpose flour

    2. Drain the zucchini, then transfer handfuls to cheesecloth or a clean kitchen towel and wring out as much liquid as possible.
    3. In a large bowl, combine the drained zucchini with the eggs, panko, cheese, ramps (or green onions), 4 tablespoons of flour, and garlic powder. Mix until well combined. If the mixture is very liquid, you can add up to 2 tablespoons of additional flour.

Working in batches, scoop the zucchini mixture into the skillet (about 3 tablespoons per fritter) and press flat to form 3-inch-wide fritters. Cook for 2-3 minutes per side, adjusting heat as needed to prevent burning, until golden brown and cooked through.
