Zucchini, Feta, and Spinach Fritters with Garlic Tzatziki 🥒🧄
Ingredients:
For the Fritters:
2 medium zucchinis, grated
1 cup fresh spinach, chopped
1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese
1/4 cup all-purpose flour (or almond flour for gluten-free)
2 large eggs
2 garlic cloves, minced
1/4 tsp ground black pepper
1/4 tsp salt
2 tbsp olive oil (for frying)
For the Garlic Tzatziki:
1 cup Greek yogurt
1 garlic clove, minced
1/2 cucumber, grated and drained
1 tbsp fresh dill, chopped
1 tsp olive oil
Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions:
Prepare the Tzatziki:
In a bowl, mix Greek yogurt, minced garlic, grated cucumber (drained to remove excess water), dill, olive oil, salt, and pepper. Cover and refrigerate until ready to serve.
Prepare the Fritter Mixture:
Place grated zucchini in a clean kitchen towel and squeeze out as much water as possible.
In a large bowl, combine the drained zucchini, chopped spinach, feta, flour, eggs, minced garlic, salt, and pepper. Mix until just combined.
Cook the Fritters:
Heat olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat.
Scoop about 2 tablespoons of the mixture into the skillet and flatten into a patty. Repeat with remaining mixture.
Cook fritters for 3-4 minutes per side, or until golden brown. Remove and place on paper towels to drain excess oil.
Serve:
Stack the fritters on a plate and dollop with the garlic tzatziki. Garnish with fresh dill or basil for extra flair.
These fritters are crispy, cheesy, and perfect for any meal! 🌿✨
