Crispy, flavorful zucchini fritters packed with nutrition; perfect as a side dish, appetizer, or snack.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 medium zucchinis, grated
- 2 large eggs
- 1/4 cup oat flour (or almond flour for a low-carb option)
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/4 cup plain Greek yogurt or cottage cheese
- 1 garlic clove, finely minced
- 1/4 teaspoon sea salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano or thyme
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley or dill
- 1 tablespoon olive oil or olive oil spray for pan-frying
Instructions
- Grate the zucchini by washing and shredding it finely using a box grater or food processor.
- Squeeze out excess moisture by transferring the grated zucchini to a clean towel, twisting, and squeezing.
- Combine the drained zucchini, eggs, oat flour, Parmesan cheese, Greek yogurt, garlic, salt, pepper, oregano, and parsley in a mixing bowl. Stir until a batter forms.
- Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and drizzle with olive oil.
- Scoop about 1/4 cup of the batter into the skillet, flattening it gently to form fritters.
- Cook for 3–4 minutes on each side until golden brown.
- Drain on paper towels and serve warm.
