Ingredients
Scale
- 2 medium zucchinis, grated
- 2 large eggs
- 1/4 cup oat flour (or almond flour for a 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 tsp sea salt
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
- 1/2 tsp dried oregano or thyme
- 2 tbsp chopped fresh parsley or dill

Instructions
- Grate the zucchinis and place them in a clean dish towel. Squeeze out as much moisture as possible.
- Combine the grated zucchini with eggs, flour, Parmesan, Greek yogurt, minced garlic, sea salt, black pepper, oregano or thyme, and chopped herbs in a mixing bowl. Stir until a batter forms.
- Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add a small amount of oil.
- Drop about 1/4 cup of batter for each fritter onto the skillet and flatten it slightly with the back of a spatula.
- Cook for approximately 3-4 minutes per side or until golden brown and cooked through.
- Drain any excess oil by placing the fritters on paper towels and serve warm.
