Postupak

Korak po korak

1
Grate the zucchini using a box grater or food processor.
Oko 3 min
2
Place the grated zucchini in a colander, sprinkle with salt, and let it sit for 20-30 minutes to draw out excess moisture.
Oko 30 min
Napomena kuhara: This step is crucial for crispy fritters.
3
Firmly squeeze the zucchini to remove as much liquid as possible. You can use your hands, a clean kitchen towel, or paper towels.
Oko 5 min
Napomena kuhara: The drier the zucchini, the crispier the fritters will be.
4
In a large mixing bowl, combine the squeezed zucchini, chopped yellow onion, fresh dill, fresh mint, and crumbled feta cheese.
Oko 2 min
5
Add the lightly beaten egg to the zucchini mixture and stir well to combine.
Oko 1 min
6
In a separate small bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, and black pepper.
Oko 1 min
7
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the zucchini mixture, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
Oko 2 min
Napomena kuhara: The mixture should be thick enough to form patties.
8
Heat the olive oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat.
Oko 2 min
Napomena kuhara: Ensure the oil is hot enough before adding the fritters to prevent them from soaking up too much oil.
9
Drop spoonfuls of the mixture into the hot oil, flattening them slightly with the back of the spoon to form small patties about 2-3 inches in diameter.
Oko 2 min
Napomena kuhara: Work in batches to avoid overcrowding the pan.
10
Cook the fritters for 3-4 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through.
Oko 8 min
11
Transfer the cooked fritters to a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.
