Ingredients
Scale
- 2 medium zucchinis, grated
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/4 cup chopped green onions
- 1 large egg
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- Oil for frying
- 1 cup plain yogurt
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh herbs (like dill or parsley)
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- Salt to taste
Instructions
- Prepare the Zucchini: Grate the zucchinis using a box grater or food processor. Place the grated zucchini in a colander and sprinkle with salt. Let it sit for about 15 minutes.
- Mix the Fritter Batter: In a large mixing bowl, combine the grated zucchini, flour, Parmesan cheese, green onions, egg, garlic powder, and black pepper. Stir everything together until well combined.
- Heat the Oil: In a large skillet over medium heat, add enough oil to generously coat the bottom of the pan.
- Cook the Fritters: Using a tablespoon or ice cream scoop, drop spoonfuls of the batter into the hot oil. Fry for about 3-4 minutes per side, until golden brown.
- Drain and Keep Warm: Transfer the fritters to a plate lined with paper towels to absorb excess oil.
- Prepare the Garlic Herb Yogurt Sauce: In a mixing bowl, combine the yogurt, chopped herbs, minced garlic, and salt. Mix until well combined.
Notes
Optional: For a zesty twist, add a splash of lemon juice to the sauce.
