Ingredients
Instructions
-
Grate the zucchinis using a box grater or a food processor. Place the grated zucchini in a colander and sprinkle with salt. Let it sit for about 10 minutes to allow excess moisture to drain.
-
After 10 minutes, squeeze the zucchini using your hands or a clean kitchen towel to remove as much liquid as possible.
-
In a large mixing bowl, combine the grated zucchini, green onions, feta cheese, minced garlic, chopped parsley, all-purpose flour, grated Parmesan cheese, black pepper, and beaten eggs. Mix well until all the ingredients are evenly incorporated.
-
Heat a thin layer of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat until hot but not smoking.
-
Take a spoonful of the zucchini mixture and carefully drop it into the skillet, flattening it slightly with the back of the spoon to form a fritter. Repeat, making sure not to overcrowd the pan.
-
Cook the fritters for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy. Work in batches if necessary.
-
Transfer cooked fritters to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil. Continue cooking remaining mixture in batches.
-
Serve warm, garnished with fresh parsley or with a side of tzatziki sauce for dipping.
