Ingredients

2 medium zucchini, grated and squeezed dry
1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese
2 large eggs
4 tbsp whole wheat flour (or oat flour)
2 tbsp chopped fresh dill (or parsley)
1/2 tsp garlic powder
Salt and black pepper to taste
2 tsp olive oil, for cooking

Instructions

1. In a medium bowl, combine the grated zucchini, crumbled feta, eggs, flour, dill, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Mix until just combined.
2. Heat olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Drop spoonfuls of the mixture into the pan, flattening slightly to form fritters.
3. Cook for 3-4 minutes per side, until golden brown and cooked through. Work in batches if necessary, adding more oil if needed.
4. Serve immediately, perhaps with a dollop of Greek yogurt or a poached egg for extra protein.
tips:
Squeeze the grated zucchini very well to remove excess water; this prevents soggy fritters.
Make a larger batch and store cooked fritters in the fridge for up to 3 days for quick grab-and-go breakfasts.
