Prep time: 20 min
Cook time: 15 min
Total time: 35 min
Yield: 4 servings
Ingredients: 1.5 pound zucchini (about 3 medium, coarsely grated); 1 teaspoon kosher salt; 2 large eggs; 3 green onions (thinly sliced); 1 clove garlic (minced); ½ cup crumbled feta cheese; 2 tablespoon fresh dill (chopped); ½ cup all-purpose flour; ½ teaspoon baking powder; ¼ teaspoon black pepper; 4 tablespoon olive oil (for frying); ½ cup plain Greek yogurt; 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice; 1 clove garlic (small, grated); 1 pinch kosher salt

Instructions

Salt the zucchini
Salt the zucchini:
Toss 1½ pounds grated zucchini with 1 teaspoon kosher salt in a colander and let it sit for 10 minutes. Wrap it in a clean kitchen towel and squeeze firmly until no more liquid comes out.
Mix the batter
Mix the batter:
In a large bowl, whisk 2 eggs, then stir in the squeezed zucchini, 3 sliced green onions, 1 minced garlic clove, ½ cup crumbled feta, and 2 tablespoons chopped dill. Sprinkle in ½ cup flour, ½ teaspoon baking powder, and ¼ teaspoon black pepper and stir just until combined.
Pan-fry
Pan-fry:
Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Scoop heaping 2-tablespoon mounds of batter into the pan, flatten slightly, and cook for 3 to 4 minutes per side, until deep golden. Repeat with the remaining 2 tablespoons oil and batter to make about 12 fritters.
Sauce and serve
Sauce and serve:
Stir ½ cup Greek yogurt with 1 tablespoon lemon juice, 1 grated garlic clove, and a pinch of salt. Serve the warm zucchini fritters with the yogurt sauce.

Tips

Squeezing out the water is the most important step; wet zucchini makes soggy fritters that fall apart. Keep finished fritters warm on a rack in a 200°F oven while you cook the rest. Swap the feta for ½ cup grated Parmesan or shredded cheddar if you prefer.

Storage

Store leftover zucchini fritters in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheat at 375°F for 8 minutes or in the air fryer for 4 minutes. They can be frozen in a single layer for up to 2 months.
