Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

For the Zucchini Fritters
  • 2 medium zucchinis, grated
  • 1 teaspoon salt for drawing out moisture from zucchinis
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 green onions chopped
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
  • Oil for frying amount as required
For the Yogurt Dip
  • 1 cup plain yogurt
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Grate the zucchinis and place them in a bowl. Sprinkle with salt and let sit for 10 minutes to draw out moisture.
  2. After 10 minutes, squeeze out excess water from the grated zucchini.
  3. In a mixing bowl, combine the zucchini, flour, Parmesan cheese, eggs, green onions, black pepper, and garlic powder. Mix until well combined, ensuring no lumps remain.
Cooking
  1. Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat. Drop spoonfuls of the zucchini mixture into the skillet and flatten them slightly.
  2. Cook until golden brown on both sides, about 3-4 minutes per side.
Yogurt Dip
  1. In a bowl, mix the yogurt, lemon juice, salt, and pepper.
Serving
  1. Serve the warm fritters with the yogurt dip on the side.

Notes

These fritters can also be baked instead of fried. To store, let them cool completely and place in an airtight container; refrigerate for up to 3 days or freeze for up to 2 months.
