These savory zucchini fritters are a delightful twist on a classic recipe, combining fresh zucchini with the tangy flavor of feta and the aromatic touch of mint.
Grate the zucchini using a grater and place it in a mixing bowl.
Grating the zucchini finely will help it blend well into the batter.
Sprinkle the grated zucchini with salt and let it sit for 10 minutes to draw out moisture.
Letting the zucchini sit with salt helps remove excess water, ensuring crispy fritters.
Wrap the zucchini in a clean dish towel and squeeze out as much liquid as possible.
Removing the moisture is crucial for achieving the right texture in the fritters.
In a mixing bowl, beat the eggs and stir in the zucchini, feta, mint, flour, and pepper until well combined.
Mix the ingredients gently to avoid overworking the batter.
Heat butter in a frying pan over medium heat.
Ensure the butter is hot but not burning before adding the batter.
Spoon dollops of the batter into the pan and flatten slightly. Cook until golden brown on both sides.
Cook in batches to avoid overcrowding the pan, which can lower the temperature.
Serve the fritters warm with your favorite dipping sauce or garnish.
Serve immediately for the best texture and flavor.
