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
Storing: Store the cooked fritters in the fridge for up to 3 days in an airtight container or bag. Due to the high water content of zucchini, freezing is not recommended.
Reheating: You can reheat zucchini fritters by pan-frying them in a small amount of oil over medium heat. Or throw them in an air fryer at 350F for 5-6 minutes.
