Grate zucchini on medium-sized holes of a box grater. Squeeze dry with your hands, working in batches.
In a large bowl, add squeezed zucchini, cottage cheese, eggs and Italian seasoning. Mix well with spatula.
Sprinkle with flour and stir until combined.
Preheat large skillet on medium heat. Swirl about 1/2 tablespoon of oil to coat and heat it up a bit. Using large trigger scoop, scoop the mixture, place on a skillet and flatten into a circle with the back of the scoop. Add more fritters, I can fit 4 in one batch on my skillet.
Cook for about 3-4 minutes or until golden brown, carefully flip and cook for another 2-3 minutes. Transfer onto a platter and repeat with remaining mixture, reducing the heat later on as skillet gets hot.
Serve with your favorite creamy dips like tzatziki, ranch, sour cream or Greek yogurt.

Store: Refrigerate in an airtight container lined with double folded paper towel for up to 3 - 4 days. Fritters taste good cold or reheat!
Freeze: For up to 3 months. Then thaw on a counter for 3 hours or in the fridge overnight.
