Scale
- 2 medium zucchinis, grated
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 cup chopped scallions
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
- 2 eggs
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

- 1 cup plain Greek yogurt
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 garlic clove, minced

Instructions
- Place grated zucchini in a bowl, sprinkle with salt, and let sit for 10 minutes. Squeeze out excess liquid using a clean kitchen towel.
- In a large bowl, combine zucchini, scallions, parsley, eggs, flour, pepper, garlic powder, and Parmesan (if using). Mix until well combined.
- Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat. Drop spoonfuls of batter into the pan and flatten slightly.

- In a small bowl, mix yogurt, lemon juice, garlic, salt, and pepper to make the dip.
- Serve fritters warm with yogurt dip on the side.
Notes
- Squeeze zucchini thoroughly to avoid soggy fritters.
- Parmesan adds extra flavor but can be omitted for a dairy-free version.
- These fritters can be baked instead of fried for a lighter option.
