Ingredients
  

  • 2 medium zucchinis grated (about 2 cups)
  • 1 cup frozen peas thawed
  • 1 cup crumbled feta cheese
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil for frying

Method
 

  1. Place the grated zucchini in a clean kitchen towel and squeeze out excess moisture. This step is crucial to prevent soggy fritters.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the grated zucchini, thawed peas, crumbled feta, flour, eggs, parsley, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined.
  3. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
  4. Using a 1/4 cup measuring cup, scoop the fritter mixture and drop it into the skillet, flattening each fritter slightly with the back of the cup.
  5. Cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side or until golden brown and crispy. You may need to work in batches to avoid overcrowding the skillet.
  6. Once cooked, transfer the fritters to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
  7. Serve warm, garnished with additional parsley or a dollop of yogurt if desired.
