Ingredients

Gather everything before you start so the cooking flow stays quick and clean.

• 2 pieces medium zucchini, grated
• 0.5 tsp salt, for squeezing moisture
• 1 piece egg
• 0.25 cup breadcrumbs
• 3 tbsp grated Parmesan cheese
• 1 piece garlic clove, minced
• 0.25 tsp black pepper
• 0.25 tsp paprika
• 1 for frying oil for frying

• 1 tsp lemon juice

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Grate the zucchini and place it in a clean towel. Sprinkle with salt and let it sit for 5 minutes.
2. Squeeze the zucchini very tightly to remove as much water as possible. This is necessary for crisp fritters.
3. In a bowl, mix zucchini, egg, breadcrumbs, Parmesan, garlic, black pepper, and paprika.
4. Shape the mixture into small flat patties. Add 1 more tablespoon breadcrumbs if the mixture feels too wet.
5. Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat. Fry the fritters for 3–4 minutes per side until golden brown.
6. Mix Greek yogurt with lemon juice and serve as a dip.
