Zucchini Fritters with Feta Cheese
Created by: Howcan Team
Ingredients
- 2 medium zucchinis, grated and squeezed to remove excess moisture
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 2 eggs, beaten
- 2 tablespoons olive oil, for frying
Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine the grated zucchinis, salt, black pepper, feta cheese, parsley, and garlic.
- In a separate small bowl, mix the flour and baking powder together, then add it to the zucchini mixture and stir to combine.
- Add the beaten eggs to the zucchini mixture and mix until everything is well combined.
- In a large non-stick skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
- Scoop about 1/4 cup of the zucchini mixture for each fritter, and carefully drop it into the skillet, flattening it slightly with a spatula.
- Cook the fritters for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and crispy.
- Transfer the cooked fritters to a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.
- Serve the zucchini fritters with feta cheese warm, with a side of tzatziki sauce or Greek yogurt for dipping.
