Easy Zucchini Fritters
Description
Easy Zucchini Fritters are made by shredding zucchini and removing excess water to ensure a crisp final texture. The batter mixes zucchini with whole wheat flour, egg, lemon zest, fresh mint, salt, and pepper. The patties are pan-fried until golden brown on both sides, forming a gently crispy exterior while maintaining a tender interior. The accompanying yoghurt dip blends unsweetened soy yoghurt with lemon juice, fresh mint, salt, and pepper for a refreshing contrast.
The flavor contrasts the mild, slightly sweet zucchini with the brightness of lemon zest and the fresh herbal note of mint, offering a balanced and subtle flavor profile. These fritters can be served warm as an appetizer, light lunch, or side dish.
Ingredients
- 1 zucchini around 600gr, large
- ½ cup whole wheat flour
- 1 egg

Ingredients for the yoghurt dip
- 1 soy yoghurt unsweetened
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice

- salt to taste
- black pepper to taste
Instructions
- Shred the zucchini and place it in a mixing bowl. Add 1 teaspoon of salt, mix and leave for 10 minutes.
- Put the zucchini inside a cheesecloth and squeeze out all the water making pressure with your hands. When all the water has been squeezed out, place the zucchini back in the mixing bowl.
- Add into the mixing bowl the flour, egg, lemon zest, fresh mint, salt and pepper to taste. Combine all the ingredients until uniform.
- Heat some oil in a frying pan or skillet on medium-high heat. With your hand, form the fritter shape and fry for 4-5 minutes on each side or until golden brown. Drain on a paper towel-lined plate before serving.
- For the dip, using a hand blender, blend the yoghurt with the lemon juice and the mint and serve.
