Ingredients
Eggs 2
Flour ⅓ cup
Greek Yogurt ½ cup, for dipping
Olive Oil 3 tbsp
Parmesan ¼ cup, grated
Salt 1 tsp
Zucchini 3 medium, about 1.5 lbs
Instructions
  1. Grate zucchini on the coarse side of a box grater. This step is critical: place shredded zucchini in a clean dish towel and wring out as much liquid as possible. Really squeeze it. Wet zucchini = soggy fritters that won't brown.
  2. In a bowl, combine squeezed zucchini, eggs, flour, grated parmesan, salt, and pepper. Mix until combined. The mixture should hold together when pressed.
  3. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering.
  4. Drop ¼ cup portions of mixture into the pan, press flat with a spatula to about ½ inch thick.
  5. Cook 3–4 minutes per side until deep golden brown. Resist the urge to flip early.
  6. Drain on paper towels. Serve warm with Greek yogurt.
