Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 medium Zucchini
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 2 large Eggs
- 0.5 cup All-purpose flour
- 0.25 cup Breadcrumbs
- 0.5 cup crumbled Feta cheese
- 2 tablespoons chopped Fresh dill
- 2 tablespoons chopped Fresh parsley
- 2 stalks finely chopped Green onion
- 2 cloves minced Garlic
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 0.5 cup for frying Vegetable oil
- 0.5 cup for serving Greek yogurt
Instructions
Wash the zucchinis thoroughly and grate them using the large holes of a box grater.
Place the grated zucchini in a colander and sprinkle with 1 teaspoon of salt. Let it sit for 10 minutes to draw out excess moisture.
Using a clean kitchen towel or your hands, squeeze the grated zucchini to remove as much liquid as possible. Transfer the zucchini to a large mixing bowl.
In the same bowl, add the eggs, all-purpose flour, breadcrumbs, crumbled feta cheese, chopped dill, parsley, green onions, minced garlic, and black pepper. Mix everything well until a cohesive batter forms.
Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat until hot but not smoking.
Scoop about 2 tablespoons of the zucchini mixture and shape it into a patty. Carefully place it into the hot oil. Repeat with the remaining batter, frying in batches to avoid overcrowding.
Cook each fritter for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crisp. Remove the fritters from the skillet and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
Serve the fritters warm with a dollop of Greek yogurt on the side for dipping.
