Zucchine Fritte

Light, crisp, and irresistibly golden, Zucchine Fritte are a beloved Italian antipasto that captures the essence of summer in every bite.  The recipe is simple - zucchini are gently grated and blended with egg and flour and sea salt, then flash fried to a golden brown.  Garnished with a light sprinkle of sea salt and paired with a cold glass of Prosecco, these garden-fresh fritters are a tradition from Tuscany to the Amalfi Coast.
