Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Prepare the zucchini
    Place the grated zucchini in a colander and toss with 1 teaspoon of salt. Let it sit for 10 minutes, then squeeze out as much liquid as possible using your hands or a clean kitchen towel.
  2. Make the fritter mixture
    In a large bowl, combine the drained zucchini, feta cheese, eggs, scallions, dill, mint, and garlic. Mix well. Add the flour, black pepper, and cumin, stirring until all ingredients are evenly incorporated.
  3. Form and fry the fritters
    Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Using a tablespoon, drop heaping spoonfuls of the mixture into the hot oil, flattening slightly with the back of the spoon. Cook for 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown and crispy.
  4. Drain and season
    Transfer cooked fritters to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil. Season with a pinch of salt while still hot.
  5. Prepare yogurt dip
    Mix Greek yogurt with a pinch of salt, a squeeze of lemon juice, and some chopped dill if desired. Stir until smooth and refrigerate until ready to serve.
  6. Serve the fritters
    Arrange fritters on a serving platter. Serve warm with the yogurt dip and lemon wedges on the side for squeezing over the fritters just before eating.
