Ingredients

• 1.5 cups grated zucchini
• 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 large egg
• 2 tbsp chopped fresh dill
• 1/2 tsp garlic powder
• 1/4 tsp salt
• 1/4 tsp black pepper
• 3 tbsp olive oil
• 1/4 cup plain yogurt
• 1 tbsp lemon juice
• 1 tbsp chopped fresh dill

Instructions

1. Step 1: Squeeze excess moisture from 1.5 cups grated zucchini using a clean kitchen towel until no more liquid drips out (critical for crisp texture).
2. Step 2: In a bowl, whisk together 1/2 cup all-purpose flour, 1 large egg, 2 tbsp chopped dill, 1/2 tsp garlic powder, 1/4 tsp salt, and 1/4 tsp black pepper.
3. Step 3: Fold the squeezed zucchini into the flour mixture until fully combined.
4. Step 4: Heat 3 tbsp olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Scoop 1/4 cup of the zucchini mixture per fritter into the skillet, flattening gently. Cook for 3 minutes per side until golden brown and crisp.
5. Step 5: While fritters cook, whisk 1/4 cup plain yogurt, 1 tbsp lemon juice, and 1 tbsp chopped fresh dill for the dip.
