Ingredients:
- 2 medium-sized zucchinis
- 1/2 cup of all-purpose flour

- 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper
- 1/4 cup of grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 egg, beaten
- 2 cloves of garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons of olive oil
Instructions:
- Grate the zucchinis using a box grater or food processor. Place the grated zucchinis in a colander and sprinkle with salt. Let them sit for 10 minutes, then squeeze out the excess water using a clean kitchen towel or paper towels.
