Instructions

Prepare the Zucchini: Grate the zucchini using a box grater or food processor. Place the grated zucchini in a clean kitchen towel or cheesecloth and squeeze out excess moisture.
Make the Fritter Mixture: In a large bowl, combine the grated zucchini, flour, Parmesan cheese, beaten egg, green onions, garlic, oregano, salt, and pepper. Stir until everything is well incorporated.
Fry the Fritters: Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Scoop spoonfuls of the zucchini mixture and shape them into patties. Carefully add them to the hot skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until golden and crispy. Remove from the pan and drain on paper towels.
Prepare the Sauce: In a small bowl, combine Greek yogurt, fresh dill, minced garlic, lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Stir until smooth and well combined.
Serve: Serve the crispy zucchini fritters hot with a generous dollop of garlic-dill yogurt sauce on the side for dipping.

Notes

If you prefer a healthier version, you can bake the fritters in the oven at 400°F (200°C) for 15-20 minutes, flipping halfway through.
You can add other herbs like parsley or chives to the fritters or sauce for extra flavor.
Zucchini fritters can be stored in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat in a skillet or oven for a crispy texture
