分步操作
- 1
Grate the zucchini using a box grater or food processor.
约 3分钟
- 2
Place the grated zucchini in a colander, sprinkle with salt, and let it sit for 20-30 minutes to draw out excess moisture.
约 30分钟
烹饪提示: 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.
约 5分钟
烹饪提示: 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.
约 2分钟
- 5
Add the lightly beaten egg to the zucchini mixture and stir well to combine.

In a separate small bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, and black pepper.
约 1分钟

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the zucchini mixture, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
约 2分钟
烹饪提示: The mixture should be thick enough to form patties.
- 8
Heat the olive oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat.
约 2分钟
烹饪提示: 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.
约 2分钟
烹饪提示: 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.
约 8分钟

Transfer the cooked fritters to a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.
