Ingredients
  

For the Zucchini Fritters:

2 medium zucchini, grated

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/4 cup all-purpose flour

1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese

1 large egg

1/4 teaspoon black pepper

1/4 teaspoon garlic powder

1/4 teaspoon onion powder

2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped

Olive oil for frying

For the BLT Wraps:

4 large lettuce leaves (romaine or butter lettuce)

8 slices of crispy bacon

1 medium tomato, sliced

Avocado slices (optional)

Mayonnaise or creamy dressing of your choice

Salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions
 

Prepare the Zucchini:

    - Place the grated zucchini in a clean kitchen towel and sprinkle with salt. Let it sit for about 10 minutes to draw out moisture. After 10 minutes, squeeze the zucchini tightly to remove excess liquid.

      Mix the Fritter Batter:

        - In a mixing bowl, combine the drained zucchini, flour, Parmesan cheese, egg, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and parsley. Mix well until all ingredients are combined into a batter.

          Cook the Fritters:

            - Heat a skillet over medium heat and add a drizzle of olive oil. Once hot, scoop about 2 tablespoons of the zucchini mixture into the skillet, flattening it slightly with a spatula. Cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown and crispy. Repeat with the remaining batter, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan. Set fritters aside on paper towels to drain excess oil.

              Prepare the Wraps:

                - In a separate skillet, cook the bacon slices until crispy. Drain on paper towels.

                  Assemble the Wraps:

                    - On a large lettuce leaf, spread a thin layer of mayonnaise or creamy dressing. Top with 2-3 zucchini fritters, crispy bacon, tomato slices, and avocado if using. Season with a little salt and pepper.

                      Wrap it Up:

                        - Carefully fold the edges of the lettuce leaf over the filling and roll it up tightly, securing the open end with a toothpick if necessary. Repeat with the remaining lettuce leaves and filling.

                          Serve:

                            - Enjoy the zucchini fritter BLT wraps immediately, served with a side of your favorite dipping sauce or salad!
