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

1. 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.
2. 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.
3. In a large bowl, mix together the shredded zucchini, flour, Parmesan cheese and eggs.
4. 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.
