Crispy zucchini fritters served with a flavorful garlic yogurt dip, perfect for a summer snack.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 medium zucchinis, grated
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 large egg
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
- Oil for frying
- 1 cup plain yogurt
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- Salt to taste
Instructions
- Grate the zucchinis and sprinkle with salt. Let them sit for 10 minutes to draw out moisture.
- After 10 minutes, squeeze out excess moisture from the zucchinis using a clean kitchen towel.
- In a bowl, combine the grated zucchini, flour, Parmesan cheese, egg, black pepper, garlic powder, and parsley. Mix well.
- Heat oil in a frying pan over medium heat.
- Drop spoonfuls of the zucchini mixture into the hot oil and flatten slightly. Fry until golden brown on both sides.
- Remove fritters and place them on paper towels to drain excess oil.
- For the garlic yogurt dip, mix yogurt, minced garlic, lemon juice, and salt in a bowl.
- Serve the zucchini fritters warm with the garlic yogurt dip on the side.
Notes
- For a gluten-free version, substitute all-purpose flour with almond flour or a gluten-free flour blend.
- These fritters can be baked instead of fried for a healthier option.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
