Ingredients

(Here’s a tip: Check out the full list of ingredients and measurements in the recipe card below.)

• 2 medium zucchini, grated
• 1 cup cherry tomatoes, diced
• 1/2 cup feta cheese, crumbled
• 2 eggs
• 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
• 2 green onions, sliced
• 1 garlic clove, minced
• 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 tablespoons olive oil for frying

Directions

I grate the zucchini and squeeze out as much excess moisture as possible using a clean kitchen towel.

I place the zucchini in a large bowl and add the diced tomatoes, feta cheese, eggs, flour, green onions, garlic, parsley, salt, and black pepper.

I mix everything together until combined.

I heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat.

I scoop small portions of the mixture into the skillet and flatten them slightly with a spoon.

I cook the fritters for about 3 to 4 minutes per side until golden brown and crispy.

I transfer the cooked fritters to a paper towel-lined plate before serving.

Servings and timing

This recipe makes about 10 to 12 fritters and serves around 4 people. I usually spend 15 minutes preparing the ingredients and about 15 minutes cooking the fritters for a total time of around 30 minutes.

Variations

I sometimes add fresh dill, basil, or mint for extra flavor. I also enjoy mixing in grated carrots or corn for more texture and sweetness. For a spicier version, I add red pepper flakes or a pinch of smoked paprika.

Storage/reheating

I store leftover fritters in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. I reheat them in a skillet or oven so they stay crispy. I avoid microwaving them because the texture becomes softer.

FAQs

How do I keep the fritters from falling apart?

I make sure to squeeze the zucchini very well to remove excess moisture before mixing the batter.

Can I bake these fritters instead of frying?

Can I use another cheese instead of feta?

Yes, I sometimes use goat cheese, Parmesan, or shredded mozzarella.

What can I serve with these fritters?

I like serving them with Greek yogurt, sour cream, tzatziki, or a fresh salad.

Yes, I freeze them in a single layer first, then store them in a freezer-safe container for up to 2 months.

Conclusion

I enjoy these Quick Tomato Zucchini Fritters with Feta because they are crispy, flavorful, and easy to make with fresh ingredients. They are perfect for a quick meal, snack, or appetizer when I want something simple yet satisfying.
