- Drop a spoonful of fritter batter into hot oil and cook until golden brown and crisp.

Tips:
- Use a large grater to shred the zucchini. This will help to release more moisture and make the fritters crispy.
- Be sure to squeeze out the excess moisture from the zucchini before mixing it with the other ingredients. This will help to prevent the fritters from becoming too soggy.
- Use a combination of all-purpose flour and cornmeal to make the fritters. This will give them a crispy exterior and a tender interior.
- Add plenty of fresh herbs andチーズ to the fritters. This will give them a delicious flavor.
- Serve the fritters hot with your favorite dipping sauce.
