Description

Zucchini fritters are crispy patties made from grated zucchini, flour, eggs, and seasonings, served with a refreshing yogurt dip.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 medium zucchinis (about 1 pound)
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese (optional for extra flavor)
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped (or any herb of your choice)
  • Oil for frying (olive oil or vegetable oil works well)
  • 1 cup plain Greek yogurt
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 tablespoon fresh dill or mint, chopped (optional for added flavor)

Instructions

  1. Wash the zucchinis and shred them using a grater. Squeeze out excess moisture using a clean kitchen towel.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the grated zucchini with salt and let it sit for 5 minutes. Then add flour, eggs, Parmesan cheese, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and parsley. Mix until well combined.
  3. Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add oil. Scoop about 2 tablespoons of batter for each fritter and flatten slightly. Cook for 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown.
  4. In a small bowl, mix Greek yogurt, lemon juice, minced garlic, salt, and pepper to make the yogurt dip. Serve alongside the warm fritters.

Notes

  • Choose firm, vibrant green zucchinis for the best flavor.
  • Ensure the batter is thick enough to hold its shape; add more flour if necessary.
  • Experiment with different herbs and spices for varied flavors.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 3-4 days.
  • Fritters can be frozen for up to 3 months; reheat directly from the freezer.
