Ingredients

  • 2 medium zucchinis , grated
  • 0.5 teaspoon sea salt
  • 2 large egg s
  • 0.25 cup plain Greek yogurt
  • 0.5 cup chickpea flour
  • 0.25 cup grated parmesan cheese
  • 2 cloves garlic , minced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh dill, finely chopped
  • 0.25 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil

Instructions

  • Place grated zucchini in a colander and toss with salt; let sit for 10 minutes to facilitate moisture extraction via osmosis.
  • Transfer zucchini to a clean kitchen towel and squeeze forcefully to remove all excess aqueous content.
  • In a primary mixing bowl, whisk together eggs, Greek yogurt, minced garlic, dill, and black pepper until homogenous.
  • Integrate chickpea flour and parmesan cheese into the egg mixture to form a thick, binding batter.
  • Fold the desiccated zucchini into the batter until evenly distributed.
  • Heat olive oil in a heavy-bottomed non-stick skillet over medium heat (approximately 350°F / 175°C).
  • Portion the batter into the skillet in 2-tablespoon increments, flattening slightly with a spatula.
  • Fry for 3 to 4 minutes per side until the Maillard reaction produces a deep golden-brown crust.
  • Drain fritters on a wire rack or paper towels to maintain exterior crispness before service.
