5 ingredients and 15 minutes to make truly crispy, finger-licking good Zucchini Fritters With Feta Cheese.
Servings: 20 fritters
Calories: 77kcal
Ingredients
- 2 light green zucchinis (about 380 grams/ 13.4 oz)
- 120 grams / 4.2 oz Greek feta cheese crumbled
- ½ small red onion minced
- 1 large egg
- 7 tablespoons all purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon fresh mint leaves chopped (can use dill instead)
- salt & pepper
- + olive oil for frying
Instructions
- In a large bowl grate the zucchinis, using a box grater.
- Add the remaining ingredients and stir everything well until you have a nice and thick mixture.
- Cover the bottom of a non-stick frying pan with one finger of olive oil and one finger of frying oil (such as canola). Heat over high heat on an electric stove or medium-high heat on gas.
- Once the oil gets really hot, take a spoonful of the mixture and carefully add it to the hot oil. They don't need to be perfectly round, just toss in as-is to create nice and crispy edges. Add 5-6 fritters at a time and flip them after about 3 minutes. Cook for another 3-4 minutes or until deep golden in color.
- Transfer on paper towels to drain excess oil and proceed on cooking the next batch.
- Serve warm along with your favorite dip!
