Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

For the Zucchini Fritters:
  • 1 ½ pounds zucchini about 2–3 medium
  • 1 finely diced shallot
  • 2 beaten eggs
  • ½ cup almond flour
  • ¼ cup crumbled goat cheese
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil for frying
For the Garlic Yogurt Sauce:
  • 1 cup yogurt
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 tablespoon finely chopped chives
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper

Method
 

Prepare the Zucchini:
  1. Grate the zucchini into a large bowl. Sprinkle with ½ teaspoon salt and mix well. Let sit for 20 minutes to draw out moisture.
Remove Excess Water:
  1. Place the zucchini in a cheesecloth, nut milk bag, or clean kitchen towel. Squeeze out as much liquid as possible.
Combine Ingredients:
  1. Add the drained zucchini, shallot, beaten eggs, almond flour, goat cheese, salt, and pepper to a mixing bowl. Stir until fully combined.
Cook the Fritters:
  1. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat.
  2. Scoop ¼ cup portions of the zucchini mixture into the skillet, flattening slightly with a spatula.
  3. Cook for 3–4 minutes per side until golden brown and crispy. Remove and place on a paper towel to drain excess oil.
Make the Garlic Yogurt Sauce:
  1. In a small bowl, combine yogurt, garlic, chives, salt, and pepper. Mix until smooth.
Serve:
  1. Plate the fritters and serve with a generous dollop of garlic yogurt sauce. Enjoy warm.

Notes

  • Ensure the zucchini is thoroughly drained to avoid soggy fritters.
  • Substitute almond flour with breadcrumbs or all-purpose flour if gluten-free is not required.
  • The fritters and sauce can be made ahead of time and reheated when ready to serve.
