Ingredients
Instructions
-
Place the grated zucchini in a colander over the sink. Sprinkle with salt and let it sit for about 10 minutes to draw out excess moisture. Squeeze the zucchini with your hands to remove as much liquid as possible.
-
In a large mixing bowl, combine the drained zucchini, flour, Parmesan cheese, garlic, parsley, cumin, black pepper, and eggs. Mix everything well until you have a thick and uniform batter.
-
In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat.
-
Take a tablespoon of the zucchini batter and carefully drop it into the hot oil, flattening it slightly to form a fritter. Repeat with more batter, making sure not to overcrowd the skillet.
-
Fry the fritters for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and crispy. Remove the fritters and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to absorb excess oil.
-
In a small bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, chopped mint, lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Stir well to mix all the ingredients for the mint yogurt sauce.
-
Serve the zucchini fritters hot with a dollop of mint yogurt sauce on top. You can also garnish with extra mint leaves for a fresh touch.
-
Enjoy these delightful fritters as a snack, appetizer, or side dish for a delightful Lebanese-inspired meal.
