Instructions

To Make the Zucchini Fritters

Heat about ¼-inch of oil over medium-low in a large skillet.
Place the flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar together in a large bowl and whisk to combine.
Make a well in the center and add the egg.
Working from the center outwards, beat the egg, drawing some of the flour mixture into it gradually.
Slowly drizzle in the sparkling water, while continuing to whisk.
Whisk the batter until smooth, then fold in the shredded zucchini.
Once the oil has heated to around 325 to 375 degrees F, fry ¼-cup spoonfuls of the zucchini fritter mixture until golden and crisp on the bottom, then flip to brown the other side.
Remove the fritters from the hot oil and drain on paper towels.
Drizzle with lemon caper sauce, if desired.

To Make the Lemon Caper Sauce

Place the mayonnaise, lemon juice, capers, garlic powder, and black pepper in a small bowl and stir together until combined.
