Ingredients
- 2 medium zucchinis, grated
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 large eggs
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped
- 1/4 cup green onions, chopped
- Oil for frying
- 1 cup plain Greek yogurt
- 2 tablespoons fresh mint, chopped
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
Instructions
Start by grating the zucchinis and placing them in a colander. Sprinkle with salt and let them sit for about 10-15 minutes to release excess moisture. Afterward, use a clean kitchen towel to squeeze out any remaining liquid.
In a large bowl, mix the grated zucchini with flour, eggs, Parmesan cheese, garlic, parsley, and green onions until well combined. Heat oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Drop spoonfuls of the batter into the hot oil, flattening them slightly to form fritters. Fry for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown. Drain on paper towels.
For the mint yogurt dip, combine Greek yogurt, chopped mint, and lemon juice in a small bowl. Serve the crispy fritters warm with the dip on the side for a refreshing contrast.
