• 1/4 cup breadcrumbs or panko
• 1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese
• 1 large egg
• 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
• 1/4 teaspoon chili flakes (optional, for a hint of spice)
• 2 green onions (finely chopped)
• 2 tablespoons olive oil (for frying)

For the avocado dip:

• 1 ripe avocado
• 2 tablespoons Greek yogurt
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• 1 clove garlic (minced)
• 2 tablespoons fresh dill or parsley (chopped)
• Salt and pepper (to taste)

Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Zucchini

1. Grate the zucchinis and place them in a clean cloth. Sprinkle with salt and let rest for 10 minutes to draw out the water.
2. Squeeze out as much liquid as possible to ensure the fritters stay crisp.

Step 2: Make the Fritter Mixture

1. In a mixing bowl, combine the grated zucchini, breadcrumbs, parmesan, egg, black pepper, chili flakes, and green onions. Mix until everything is evenly combined.

Step 3: Fry the Fritters

1. Heat the olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat.
2. Scoop 2 tablespoons of the mixture per fritter into the skillet and flatten slightly.
3. Fry for 3–4 minutes per side or until golden brown and crispy.
4. Remove and place on paper towels to drain excess oil.

Step 4: Make the Avocado Dip

1. In a blender or small food processor, combine the avocado, Greek yogurt, lemon juice, garlic, dill, salt, and pepper. Blend until smooth.
2. Adjust the seasoning as needed and refrigerate until serving.

Step 5: Serve the Dish

Arrange the zucchini fritters on a plate and serve with the avocado dip on the side. Garnish with extra fresh herbs if desired.

Tips for Perfect Fritters

• Pat the zucchini dry thoroughly to avoid soggy fritters.
• For extra crispiness, add a tablespoon of cornstarch to the fritter mixture.
• Swap parmesan with feta cheese for a tangy flavor twist.
