How to make zucchini feta fritters
Take your food processor or a mandolin slicer with the large hole grater and grate the zucchini. You can use the whole zucchini including the skin.
Transfer the shredded zucchini to a fine-mesh strainer and set it over a bowl.
Toss salt on the zucchini and let it sit for 10 minutes.
Squeeze all of the excess liquid out of the zucchini with your hands. There is a lot of excess liquid in zucchini so keep on squeezing and then set it aside.
Thinly slice the scallions. Beat the egg in a large bowl and mix in the drained zucchini, scallions, and dill.
Crumble the feta, mince the garlic and add it to the bowl as well. Season with black pepper.
Now sprinkle the flour and baking powder over the mixture and stir it through until fully combined. Set aside.
Take your non-stick skillet and preheat with the 2 tablespoons olive oil over medium heat.
Take a big spoon or an ice scoop and take a big heap of zucchini mixture and put it into the skillet. Press down to slightly flatten the fritters.
Bake until golden brown, this will take about 3-5 minutes per side. Turn regularly to even brown them.
Line a plate with a paper towel and transfer the fritters after they are baked.
Add a bit more oil to the pan, if necessary, then repeat with the remaining batter.
Your zucchini feta fritters are ready to serve.
