Ingredients
Scale
- 2 medium zucchinis, grated
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 large egg
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons olive oil, for frying
- 1/2 cup Greek yogurt
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon fresh dill, chopped
- Salt and pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Grate the zucchinis and place them in a colander. Sprinkle with salt and let sit for 10 minutes to draw out moisture.
- Using a clean kitchen towel or cheesecloth, squeeze the grated zucchini to remove excess water.
- In a bowl, combine the zucchini, flour, Parmesan, egg, garlic, and black pepper. Mix well to form a batter.
- Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Scoop spoonfuls of batter and flatten into small patties.
- Fry the fritters for 3-4 minutes on each side until golden and crispy. Drain on paper towels.
- In a small bowl, mix Greek yogurt, lemon juice, dill, salt, and pepper to make the yogurt sauce.
- Stack the zucchini fritters on plates and drizzle generously with the yogurt sauce before serving.
Notes
For extra flavor, add chopped scallions or a pinch of smoked paprika to the fritter batter. These stacks also pair wonderfully with a side salad.
