Ingredients

For the fritters:

• 2 medium zucchinis (grated)
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 cup all-purpose flour (or chickpea flour for a gluten-free option)
• 1/4 cup breadcrumbs or panko
• 1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese
• 1 large egg
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 tablespoons olive oil (for frying)

For the avocado yogurt dip:

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

Instructions

Step 1: Prep the Zucchini

1. Grate the zucchinis into a large bowl. Sprinkle with salt and let sit for 10 minutes to release moisture.
2. Use a clean kitchen towel to squeeze out as much water as possible. The drier the zucchini, the crispier the fritters!

Step 2: Make the Fritter Batter

1. In a mixing bowl, combine the grated zucchini, flour, breadcrumbs, parmesan, egg, onion powder, garlic powder, and black pepper. Mix until it forms a sticky batter.

Step 3: Fry the Fritters

1. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat.
2. Scoop about 2 tablespoons of the batter for each fritter and drop it into the skillet. Flatten slightly with the back of a spoon.
3. Cook for 3–4 minutes on each side until golden brown and crispy.
4. Transfer to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.

Step 4: Prepare the Dip

1. In a food processor or blender, combine the avocado, Greek yogurt, lemon juice, garlic, parsley, salt, and pepper. Blend until smooth and creamy.
2. Taste and adjust the seasoning as needed.

Step 5: Serve and Enjoy

Place the fritters on a serving platter, garnish with fresh herbs, and serve with the avocado yogurt dip on the side. Enjoy them warm for the best flavor.

Tips for Success

• To ensure crispy fritters, don’t skip squeezing out the zucchini’s moisture!
• Add a pinch of chili flakes to the fritter batter for a spicy twist.
• Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days and reheat in the oven for crispiness.

Conclusion
These crispy zucchini fritters with tangy avocado yogurt dip are a delightful combination of crunch and creaminess. They’re simple to make, loaded with veggies, and perfect for any occasion. Try them as a snack, appetizer, or light meal today!
