One of the best things about summer is all of the fresh summer produce from my garden! During the months of June, July and August, I usually have an abundance of zucchini.

5-ingredient Parmesan Zucchini Fritters with Lemon Garlic Yogurt Sauce
Yield: 4 servings
Parmesan Zucchini Fritters are made with only five ingredients and are served with a flavorful lemon garlic yogurt sauce. Kids and adults will love this fun and easy appetizer that is made in less than 25 minutes!
Ingredients
For the sauce:
- 1/2 cup Greek Yogurt
- 2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 teaspoons chopped parsley
- 1 teaspoon minced garlic
For the fritters:
- 3 cups shredded zucchini
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 large eggs, beaten
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
Instructions
- To make the yogurt sauce, whisk together the yogurt, lemon juice, olive oil, parsley and garlic until combined. Cover and refrigerate until ready to serve.
- To make the fritters, place the shredded zucchini in a colander over a large bowl. Let sit for 10 minutes. Using a clean dish towel or cheesecloth, press down on the zucchini to drain any excess water.
- In a large bowl, mix together the shredded zucchini, flour, Parmesan cheese and eggs.
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium high heat. Spoon tablespoons of batter for each fritter, flatten with a spatula and cook until golden brown, about 2 minutes. Flip and cook on the other side, about 2 additional minutes. Serve immediately and enjoy!
Notes
- Store the cooked fritters in the fridge for up to 3 days and reheat prior to serving.

I made them and really found that the center never cooked. Did not like them.
Can you substitute with almond flour? Thanks so much!
Hi, Abbie! While I haven’t tried this recipe with almond flour, you should be able to substitute it with success. Enjoy!
YES! My favorite thing to do with all the summer zucchini!
Ok, I really like this idea! I am a zucchini fan.
I love how simple these are! I am going to have to make them soon!
