Preparing the fritters

(Total time: 1h06 = Preparation: 1h + Cooking: 6 min)

Step 1: Finely grate the zucchinis and season with a pinch of salt. Leave to drain for 1 hour in a colander and squeeze out excess water.
Step 2: Crush the garlic and chop the parsley and mint.
Step 3: In a large bowl, mix the flour, baking powder and beaten eggs, then add the grated zucchinis, mint, parsley and garlic. Season with salt and pepper and mix well to obtain a homogeneous paste.
Step 4: Heat the oil to 160°C. Using a large spoon, drop small mounds of dough into the oil and brown the fritters well on each side.
Step 5: Place the fritters on paper towels and serve.

Tasting

Serve hot, with a yogurt-herb sauce or a simple slice of lemon.

Storage

If you haven't finished your doughnuts, you can store them in an airtight tin in the fridge for 24 hours, but you'll lose the crunch and light texture.
