Print Recipe

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 medium zucchinis, grated
  • 1/2 tsp sea salt
  • 2 eggs
  • 1/3 cup all-purpose flour (or chickpea flour for gluten-free)
  • 2 scallions, finely chopped
  • 1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 1/4 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/4 tsp baking powder
  • 2 tbsp olive oil (for frying)
  • 1 cup plain Greek yogurt
  • 1 tsp lemon juice
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Grate the zucchini and place it in a bowl. Sprinkle with salt and let sit for 10 minutes to draw out moisture.
  2. After resting, squeeze out as much liquid as possible from the zucchini using a clean kitchen towel or cheesecloth.
  3. In a large bowl, combine the drained zucchini with eggs, flour, scallions, parsley, black pepper, garlic powder, and baking powder. Mix well until a batter forms.
  4. Heat olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat.
  5. Scoop 2 tablespoons of batter per fritter into the pan, flattening gently with the back of a spoon.
  6. Cook each side for 3–4 minutes, or until golden brown and crisp.
  7. Remove and drain on paper towels.
  8. For the dip, mix Greek yogurt with lemon juice, salt, and pepper in a small bowl.
  9. Serve the fritters warm with a generous spoonful of yogurt dip on the side.

Notes

  • Make sure to thoroughly squeeze out moisture from zucchini to avoid soggy fritters.
  • Chickpea flour can be used for a gluten-free alternative with extra protein.
  • Fritters can be kept warm in a low oven (200°F) while finishing batches.
