Ingredients
1 1/2 cups shredded zucchini
1 cup crumbled feta cheese
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1 large egg
1 teaspoon dried dill
1 teaspoon dried mint
1 clove garlic (minced)
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons olive oil (for frying)
Garlic Yogurt Sauce:
1 cup plain Greek yogurt
1 clove garlic (minced)
1 tablespoon chopped fresh dill
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons olive oil (mixed into yogurt)
Instructions
Preheat oven to 200°F (95°C) for warming fritters.
In a bowl, combine shredded zucchini, feta, flour, egg, dill, mint, garlic, salt, and 1 tsp olive oil. Mix until thick.
Let the mixture rest for 10 minutes to combine flavors.
Using a spoon, shape into 4-inch patties (about 1/2-inch thick).
Heat a skillet over medium heat with 1 tbsp olive oil per batch. Cook 2-3 fritters until golden brown (5-7 minutes per side).
Meanwhile, mix yogurt sauce ingredients. Toss in herbs and adjust salt.
Serve fritters immediately with garlic yogurt sauce.
Notes
Wring zucchini to remove excess moisture for crispier results.
Fritters can be baked at 375°F (190°C) for 15-20 minutes per side if preferred.
Sauce can be prepared ahead of time and stored in the fridge.
Use halal-certified feta if necessary.
