Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients

  

For the fritters

• 2 medium zucchini, grated
• 1 tsp salt
• 2 eggs
• 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
• 1/3 cup crumbled feta
• 2 green onions, chopped
• 2 tbsp fresh dill, chopped
• 3 tbsp olive oil, for frying

For the yogurt dip

• 1 cup Greek yogurt
• 1 clove garlic, grated
• 1 tbsp lemon juice

Method

 

1. Toss the grated zucchini with salt and let it sit 10 minutes, then squeeze out as much liquid as possible.
2. Mix the zucchini with eggs, flour, feta, green onions, and dill to form a thick batter.
3. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium. Drop spoonfuls of batter and flatten slightly.
4. Fry until golden and crisp, about 3 minutes per side. Drain on paper towels.
5. Stir together the yogurt, garlic, and lemon juice, and serve alongside the warm fritters.

Notes

Squeezing the zucchini dry is the single most important step for fritters that crisp instead of steam.
