Scale
- 2 medium zucchinis, grated
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 large egg
- 2 green onions, finely chopped
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley or dill
- 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons olive oil (for frying)

- 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 small garlic clove, minced
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh herbs (e.g., dill, mint, or parsley)

Instructions
- Place grated zucchini in a colander, sprinkle with salt, and let sit for 10 minutes. Then squeeze out excess moisture using a clean kitchen towel.
- In a bowl, mix zucchini with flour, Parmesan, egg, green onions, herbs, and pepper until combined.
- Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Scoop heaping tablespoons of mixture into the skillet, flatten slightly, and cook 3–4 minutes per side until golden brown.
- Transfer fritters to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
- For the dip, mix yogurt, lemon juice, garlic, chopped herbs, salt, and pepper in a small bowl.
- Serve fritters warm with herbed yogurt dip on the side.
Notes
- Be sure to drain zucchini thoroughly for crispier fritters.
- Fritters can be kept warm in a low oven until ready to serve.
- Can be made ahead and reheated in a skillet or air fryer.
- Try adding a pinch of cumin or chili flakes for extra flavor.
