Prepare the Zucchini: Grate the zucchini into a large bowl.

Sprinkle with 1 teaspoon of salt and let it sit for about 10 minutes.

Squeeze out any excess moisture from the zucchini using a clean kitchen towel or cheesecloth.

Mix Ingredients: In a separate bowl, beat the eggs until well combined.

Add the grated zucchini, minced garlic, chopped chives, and pepper to the eggs.

Gradually add the flour, mixing until the ingredients are evenly combined and form a batter.

Cook the Mixture: Heat 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat.

Spoon the zucchini mixture into the skillet, forming small patties.

Cook each patty for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through.

Serve: Remove the patties from the skillet and drain on paper towels to remove excess oil.

Serve warm, garnished with extra chives if desired.
