Ingredients
- 2 medium zucchinis, grated
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 eggs
- 1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
Instructions
- In a large bowl, toss the grated zucchini with the salt and let it sit for 10 minutes. Then, squeeze out the excess moisture from the zucchini using a clean kitchen towel.
- In another bowl, whisk the eggs, then stir in the feta cheese, parsley, flour, baking powder, and black pepper.

- Transfer the fritters to a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.
- Serve the fritters warm with a dollop of Greek yogurt or sour cream on top, if desired.
