Ingredients
  

Ingredients
  • 2 medium zucchinis grated
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/4 cup oat flour
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1/4 cup plain Greek yogurt
  • 1 garlic clove finely minced
  • 1/4 tsp sea salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 1/2 tsp dried oregano
  • 2 tbsp chopped fresh parsley
  • 1 tbsp olive oil for pan-frying

Method
 

  1. Grate the zucchinis on the large holes of a box grater, then place the shreds in a clean kitchen towel and squeeze firmly to remove as much moisture as possible.
  2. Add the drained zucchini to a mixing bowl and stir in the eggs, oat flour, Parmesan cheese, Greek yogurt, garlic, sea salt, black pepper, dried oregano, and chopped parsley until a thick batter forms.
  3. Heat the olive oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat until hot.
  4. Scoop about 1/4 cup of batter per fritter into the skillet, spacing them slightly apart, and gently flatten each mound with the back of a spoon.
  5. Cook the fritters for 3 to 4 minutes on the first side, until deep golden around the edges and set in the center.
  6. Flip the fritters and cook for another 3 to 4 minutes, until the second side is golden and the fritters are cooked through.
  7. Transfer the fritters to a paper towel lined plate to drain any excess oil and serve warm.

Notes

- Squeeze the zucchini very well or the fritters will steam instead of crisp.
- You can substitute almond flour for oat flour and cottage cheese for Greek yogurt if desired.
