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
1 cup plain Greek yogurt
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 tablespoon fresh dill, chopped
Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
Place grated zucchini in a colander, sprinkle with salt, and let sit for 10 minutes to draw out moisture. Then squeeze out excess liquid using a clean kitchen towel.
In a bowl, combine the zucchini, flour, Parmesan cheese, egg, minced garlic, and black pepper. Mix well until combined.
Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Scoop batter by tablespoons into the skillet and flatten gently to form fritters.
Cook fritters for 3–4 minutes on each side until golden brown and crispy. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
For the yogurt sauce, mix Greek yogurt, lemon juice, chopped dill, salt, and pepper in a small bowl.
To serve, stack 2–3 fritters per plate and spoon yogurt sauce over the top. Garnish with extra dill if desired.
Notes
For a spicy kick, add a pinch of cayenne pepper to the zucchini mixture or serve with a drizzle of hot sauce.
