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

Directions

Step 1

Wash the zucchinis thoroughly and grate them using the large holes of a box grater.

Step 2

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.

Step 3

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.

Step 4

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.

Step 5

Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat until hot but not smoking.

Step 6

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.

Step 7

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.

Step 8

Serve the fritters warm with a dollop of Greek yogurt on the side for dipping.
