Crispy Zucchini and Herb Fritters

Print Recipe

Golden brown and full of fresh herbs, these zucchini fritters are crunchy on the outside, tender inside, and perfectly paired with a tangy yogurt dip.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 medium zucchinis, grated
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt (for draining zucchini)
  • 1/4 cup red bell pepper, finely diced
  • 1/4 cup chopped scallions
  • 1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped
  • 1/4 cup fresh dill or cilantro, chopped
  • 1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese
  • 2 eggs
  • 1/2 cup flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Oil for frying

Yogurt Herb Dip:

  • 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon chopped mint or cilantro
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Grate zucchini and sprinkle with salt. Let sit for 10 minutes, then squeeze out excess water using a clean towel.
  2. In a large bowl, combine zucchini, bell pepper, scallions, herbs, feta, eggs, flour, baking powder, salt, and pepper. Mix until a thick batter forms.
  3. Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat. Scoop batter into the pan using a spoon, flattening slightly.
  4. Fry fritters for 3–4 minutes per side until golden and crispy. Drain on paper towels.
  5. Mix all dip ingredients in a bowl and serve alongside warm fritters.

Notes

  • Squeeze zucchini well to avoid soggy fritters.
  • Use a mix of dill and mint for a more complex flavor.
  • Fritters can be reheated in a toaster oven to maintain crispiness.
