Ingredients
Scale
For the fritters:
- 2 medium zucchinis, grated
- 1/2 cup breadcrumbs
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 egg, beaten
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- 1/4 tsp ground cumin
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Olive oil for frying
For the garlic yogurt dip:
- 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 1 tbsp fresh lemon juice
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Grate the zucchinis and place them in a clean kitchen towel to squeeze out excess moisture.
- In a bowl, combine the grated zucchini, breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, beaten egg, garlic powder, cumin, salt, and pepper. Mix until fully incorporated.
- Heat a tablespoon of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Scoop about 2 tablespoons of the fritter mixture and form it into a patty. Fry in the skillet for 3-4 minutes per side until golden brown and crispy.
- Remove fritters from the skillet and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
- For the dip, combine Greek yogurt, minced garlic, lemon juice, salt, and pepper in a small bowl. Stir well to combine.
- Serve the fritters warm with the garlic yogurt dip.
Notes
- If the mixture feels too wet, add more breadcrumbs to achieve the right consistency.
- You can bake the fritters at 375°F (190°C) for 20 minutes, flipping halfway through if preferred over frying.
- Store leftover fritters in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days. Reheat in a skillet for the best texture.
