Ingredients

For the Fritters:

  • 2 medium zucchini, grated
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 2 green onions, thinly sliced
  • 1 large egg, beaten
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Olive oil for frying

For the Herb Yogurt Dip:

  • 1 cup plain Greek yogurt
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh dill
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh mint
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • Juice of 1/2 lemon
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

Making the Fritters:

  1. Place the grated zucchini in a clean kitchen towel and squeeze out as much moisture as possible.
  2. In a large bowl, combine the zucchini, flour, Parmesan cheese, green onions, and beaten egg. Season with salt and pepper and mix well.
  3. Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add enough olive oil to coat the bottom.
  4. Scoop about 1/4 cup of the zucchini mixture into the skillet for each fritter, flattening them slightly with a spatula.
  5. Cook the fritters for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown and crispy.
  6. Transfer the fritters to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.

Preparing the Herb Yogurt Dip:

  1. In a small bowl, mix together the Greek yogurt, dill, mint, garlic, and lemon juice.
  2. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  3. Chill the dip in the refrigerator until ready to serve.
