These crispy zucchini fritters combine grated zucchini, tangy feta, and fresh dill for a quick, easy, and delicious snack or light meal. Perfectly crispy on the outside and creamy inside, they are a crowd-pleaser for any occasion.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 medium zucchinis (about 600g or 1.3 lbs), grated and well-drained
  • 1 cup crumbled feta cheese (150g)
  • 2 tablespoons fresh dill, finely chopped
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • ½ cup all-purpose flour (60g) (can substitute almond flour for gluten-free)
  • 1 clove garlic, minced (optional)
  • 2 green onions, thinly sliced
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Olive oil for frying

Instructions

  1. Wash and trim the ends of 3 medium zucchinis. Grate the zucchini using a box grater or food processor into a large bowl.
  2. Transfer grated zucchini to a fine mesh sieve or wrap in a clean kitchen towel or cheesecloth. Press firmly or twist to squeeze out as much liquid as possible.
  3. In a large bowl, combine the drained zucchini, crumbled feta, fresh dill, sliced green onions, and minced garlic (if using). Add eggs and flour. Season with salt and pepper. Mix gently until just combined.
  4. Heat 2-3 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat in a non-stick or cast iron skillet until shimmering but not smoking.
  5. Scoop about ¼ cup of batter per fritter and flatten gently in the pan. Cook for 3-4 minutes per side until golden brown and crispy. Cook in batches, adding oil as needed.
  6. Transfer cooked fritters to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil. Serve warm topped with extra feta and fresh dill.

Notes

Squeeze out as much moisture as possible from the zucchini to ensure crispy fritters. Use a thin spatula to flip gently to avoid breaking. Keep cooked fritters warm in a low oven if cooking in batches. For gluten-free, substitute flour with almond or chickpea flour. For dairy-free, replace feta with seasoned firm tofu.
