Description

Crispy, savory, and packed with summer flavor, these Zucchini Fritters are the perfect way to turn fresh zucchini into something crave-worthy. With feta cheese, herbs, and a golden crust, they’re ideal as a snack, side, or vegetarian meal. Serve them warm with a dollop of yogurt or your favorite dip — simple, satisfying, and easy to make.


Ingredients

Scale

2 medium zucchinis, grated and drained

2 large eggs

1/2 cup all-purpose flour

1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese

2 green onions, finely chopped

2 tablespoons chopped fresh dill

2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/4 teaspoon black pepper

1/2 teaspoon baking powder

Olive oil or neutral oil for frying


Instructions

1. Grate the zucchini and place in a colander. Sprinkle lightly with salt and let sit for 10–15 minutes, then squeeze out all excess moisture using a clean towel or cheesecloth.

2. In a large bowl, combine the drained zucchini, eggs, flour, feta cheese, green onions, dill, parsley, salt, pepper, and baking powder. Stir until the mixture is evenly combined.

3. Heat a thin layer of oil in a large skillet over medium heat.

4. Scoop 2 tablespoons of batter per fritter into the pan and flatten gently into a round patty.

5. Cook each fritter for 3–4 minutes per side or until golden and crispy. Adjust heat as needed.

6. Transfer cooked fritters to a paper towel–lined plate to drain excess oil.

7. Repeat with the remaining batter, adding more oil to the pan as needed.

8. Serve warm with herbed yogurt, sour cream, or your favorite dipping sauce.
