Crispy on the outside and tender inside, these quick tomato zucchini fritters with feta are packed with fresh vegetables, herbs, and salty cheese. They make a flavorful and satisfying meal, snack, or appetizer that comes together easily with simple ingredients.

Ingredients

  • 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

Instructions

  1. Grate the zucchini and squeeze out as much excess moisture as possible using a clean kitchen towel.
  2. Place the zucchini in a large mixing bowl.
  3. Add the diced cherry tomatoes, feta cheese, eggs, flour, green onions, garlic, parsley, salt, and black pepper.
  4. Mix everything together until well combined.
  5. Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat.
  6. Scoop small portions of the mixture into the skillet and flatten them slightly with a spoon.
  7. Cook the fritters for 3 to 4 minutes per side until golden brown and crispy.
  8. Transfer the cooked fritters to a paper towel-lined plate to remove excess oil.
  9. Serve warm with yogurt, tzatziki, sour cream, or a fresh salad.

Notes

  • Squeezing excess moisture from the zucchini helps keep the fritters crispy and prevents them from falling apart.
  • Fresh dill, basil, or mint can be added for extra flavor.
  • Grated carrots or corn add sweetness and texture.
  • For a spicy version, add red pepper flakes or smoked paprika.
  • Goat cheese, Parmesan, or mozzarella can replace feta cheese.
  • To bake instead of fry, bake at 400°F (200°C) for about 20 minutes, flipping halfway through.
  • Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • Reheat in a skillet or oven to maintain crispiness.
