Crispy zucchini fritters made with fresh herbs, feta cheese, and a light batter, pan-fried until golden and served warm for a flavorful appetizer or side dish.

Ingredients

  • 3 medium zucchinis (about 600g or 1.3 lbs), grated and well-drained
  • 1 cup crumbled feta cheese (150g)
  • 2 tablespoons fresh dill, finely chopped
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • ½ cup all-purpose flour (60g) (can substitute almond flour for gluten-free)
  • 1 clove garlic, minced (optional)
  • 2 green onions, thinly sliced
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Olive oil for frying

Instructions

  1. Wash and trim the ends of the zucchinis, then grate them using a box grater or food processor into a large bowl.
  2. Transfer the grated zucchini to a fine mesh sieve or clean kitchen towel and squeeze out as much liquid as possible.
  3. In a large bowl, combine drained zucchini, feta, dill, green onions, and garlic if using.
  4. Add eggs and flour, then season with salt and pepper. Mix gently until just combined.
  5. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat until shimmering.
  6. Scoop about ¼ cup of batter per fritter into the pan and flatten slightly. Cook for 3–4 minutes per side until golden and crispy.
  7. Cook in batches, adding more oil as needed.
  8. Transfer fritters to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
  9. Serve warm, optionally topped with extra feta and fresh dill.

Notes

  • Removing as much moisture from the zucchini as possible is key for crisp fritters.
  • Almond flour can be used instead of all-purpose flour for a gluten-free version.
  • Fritters are best served fresh but can be reheated in a skillet or oven.
  • Avoid overcrowding the pan to maintain crispiness.
