For the Zucchini Fritters:
2 medium zucchinis, grated and excess moisture squeezed out
1/4 cup finely chopped onion
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1/4 cup whole wheat flour (or almond flour for a gluten-free option)
1 large egg
2 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
Salt and pepper to taste
2 tablespoons olive oil (for frying)
For the Yogurt Dill Sauce:
1/2 cup Greek yogurt (or dairy-free yogurt for a vegan option)
1 tablespoon fresh dill, chopped
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
1 teaspoon honey or maple syrup (for a vegan option)
Salt and pepper to taste
Steps
Step 1
In a large bowl, combine the grated zucchinis, chopped onion, grated Parmesan cheese, whole wheat flour, egg, minced garlic, baking powder, ground cumin, salt, and pepper. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly combined.
Step 2
In a non-stick skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat.
Step 3
Spoon the zucchini mixture into the skillet to form fritters of your desired size. Flatten each fritter slightly with the back of the spoon.
Step 4
Cook the fritters for about 2-3 minutes on each side or until they are golden brown and crispy. Remove from the skillet and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to absorb any excess oil.
Step 5
In a small bowl, prepare the yogurt dill sauce by combining Greek yogurt, chopped dill, fresh lemon juice, honey (or maple syrup), salt, and pepper. Stir until well mixed.
Step 6
Serve the Zucchini Fritters with a generous dollop of the creamy Yogurt Dill Sauce on top. Garnish with fresh dill and lemon wedges for an extra burst of flavor.
