Method
Preparation
- Grate the zucchinis using a box grater or food processor. Place the grated zucchini in a clean kitchen towel or cheesecloth and squeeze out excess moisture.
Make the Fritter Mixture
- In a large bowl, combine the grated zucchini, flour, eggs, Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Mix until all ingredients are well incorporated.
Heat the Oil
- In a large skillet, heat 1/4 inch of oil over medium heat. To check if it’s hot enough, drop a small amount of the zucchini mixture into the oil; if it sizzles, you’re ready to fry.
Fry the Fritters
- Using a tablespoon, scoop the mixture and drop it gently into the hot oil. Flatten each fritter slightly with the back of the spoon. Fry until golden brown on each side, approximately 3–4 minutes. Avoid overcrowding the pan.
Drain and Finish
- Once cooked, remove the fritters from the skillet and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to absorb excess oil.
Prepare the Lemon Yogurt
- In a small bowl, mix together the Greek yogurt, lemon juice, and lemon zest. Stir well to combine.
Serve
- Serve the crispy fritters warm with the lemon yogurt on the side for dipping.
Notes
Ensure you squeeze out as much moisture as possible from the grated zucchini for crispy fritters. For a lighter version, consider baking instead of frying.
