Description
Crispy, healthy zucchini fritters made with oat flour and Greek yogurt, perfect as a side dish or for brunch.
Ingredients
- 2 medium zucchinis, grated
- 2 large eggs
- 1/4 cup oat flour (or almond flour for low-carb option)
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese (optional)
- 1/4 cup plain Greek yogurt or cottage cheese
- 1 garlic clove, finely minced
- 1/4 teaspoon sea salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano or thyme
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley or dill
- 1 tablespoon olive oil or olive oil spray for pan-frying
Instructions
- Grate the zucchinis and squeeze out excess moisture using a dish towel or paper towels.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the drained zucchini with eggs, oat flour, Parmesan (if using), Greek yogurt, minced garlic, salt, pepper, oregano (or thyme), and parsley or dill. Stir until combined.
- Heat a nonstick skillet over medium heat and add olive oil. Drop about 1/4 cup of batter for each fritter and flatten gently.
- Cook for 3–4 minutes per side until golden brown, then drain on paper towels and serve warm.
Notes
For a dairy-free version, replace Greek yogurt with mashed avocado or extra dairy-free yogurt, and skip the Parmesan.
