Ingredients
  

For the Fritters
  • 2 medium Zucchini Squeeze out excess water for a crispy texture.
  • 2 large Eggs Acts as a binding agent; substitute with ground flaxseed for a vegan option.
  • 0.5 cup Oat Flour Provides gluten-free structure; almond flour is a lower-carb substitute.
  • 0.25 cup Parmesan Cheese Optional. Adds richness and crispness.
  • 0.25 cup Greek Yogurt Adds creaminess and protein; use plant-based yogurt for dairy-free.
  • 2 cloves Garlic Infuses the fritters with flavor.
  • 1 teaspoon Sea Salt Essential for flavor enhancement.
  • 1 teaspoon Black Pepper Adjust to personal taste.
  • 1 teaspoon Dried Oregano Introduces herbaceous notes.
  • 0.25 cup Fresh Parsley Complements zucchini beautifully.

Equipment

  • Box Grater
  • non-stick skillet
  • mixing bowl
  • spatula

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Begin by washing and trimming the ends of two medium zucchinis. Using a box grater or food processor, grate the zucchinis until they are finely shredded.
  2. Transfer the grated zucchini into a clean kitchen towel or cheesecloth. Twist the cloth to gather the shreds, then squeeze firmly to extract any excess moisture.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, combine the drained zucchini with two eggs and half a cup of oat flour. Add in a quarter cup of grated Parmesan cheese, a quarter cup of Greek yogurt, minced garlic, dried oregano, salt, and pepper. Mix thoroughly until a thick batter forms.
  4. Place a non-stick skillet on the stove and preheat it over medium heat. Drizzle with olive oil to create a light coating.
  5. Scoop out about 2 tablespoons of the batter and shape it into a patty. Place the fritter gently into the hot skillet.
  6. Let the fritters cook for approximately 3-4 minutes, or until you notice a golden-brown crust forming on the bottom. Flip each fritter and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until equally golden and crispy.
  7. Transfer the fritters to a plate lined with paper towels to absorb excess oil. Serve warm with Greek yogurt or fresh herbs.
