Storing Leftover Zucchini Fritters
These zucchini fritters are best enjoyed while warm and fresh. If you need to reheat leftovers, use a skillet over low heat or the air fryer. Be sure to store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days. My grandparents immigrated to the United States from Calabria, Italy. These Pitticelle are a distinctly Calabrian recipe. Zucchini is coated in a simple batter made from flour, milk, cheese, and eggs and then they are cooked on the stovetop. The result is absolute perfection that you will love.
Prepare the zucchini. Place your thinly sliced zucchini in a bowl and lightly salt them. Place in the refrigerator overnight. Remove excess water. Remove the zucchini from the bowl, a few at a time, and squeeze out the excess water. Mix together the other ingredients. In a large bowl, whisk the eggs. Then mix in the flour, milk, garlic salt, and pepper. Finally, stir in the mozzarella and Parmesan cheese. Coat the zucchini slices. Add about five zucchini slices to the batter. Coat them completely and pull them out with a fork. Cook the zucchini. Spray the hot skillet with cooking spray and cook the zucchini slices in the pan for about two minutes on each side. Repeat with more zucchini, adding more cooking spray as needed. Enjoy!
Use zucchini that are medium-sized. Large zucchini can be watery and have larger seeds. Look for zucchini with smooth, blemish-free skin. The skin should be glossy and vibrant green. Avoid zucchini with wrinkled or dull skin, as these are signs that the vegetable is past its prime. Wash the zucchini to remove any dirt and debris and cut off both ends before slicing.
