Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 2 medium zucchinis Grated
- ½ cup Greek yogurt Substitutes available
- ¼ cup flour Can use almond flour as a low-carb option
- ¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese Nutritional yeast can be a dairy-free alternative
- 1 large egg Flaxseed meal can substitute for a vegan option
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- ¼ cup chopped fresh herbs Such as parsley or dill
- Salt and pepper To taste
- Olive oil For frying
Instructions
Preparation
- Wash the zucchinis and dry them with a towel. Gather all necessary ingredients, a clean kitchen towel, and a mixing bowl.
- Grate the zucchinis into fine shreds using a box grater or food processor.
- Place the grated zucchini in the center of a clean kitchen towel and twist it to squeeze out excess moisture.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the squeezed zucchini with Greek yogurt, flour (or almond flour), Parmesan cheese, egg, minced garlic, chopped herbs, salt, and pepper. Stir until well incorporated.
Cooking
- Heat a skillet over medium heat and add olive oil to cover the bottom.
- Scoop spoonfuls of the mixture into the hot skillet, flattening them slightly to form fritters. Leave space between them.
- Cook for 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown and crispy, adjusting the heat as necessary.
- Transfer cooked fritters to a plate lined with paper towels and repeat with the remaining mixture.
- For a healthier twist, preheat an air fryer to 400°F, place fritters in a single layer, and cook for 10-12 minutes, flipping halfway through.
Serving
- Serve the fritters warm with a dipping sauce or topping of your choice.
Notes
Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3-4 days in the fridge. You can freeze cooked fritters for up to 2 months, reheating in a hot skillet for best texture.
