Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1.5 lbs zucchini (about 4 medium zucchini)
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 0.5 cup chopped green onion (or sub 1/4 cup shredded white onion)
  • 0.25 cup fresh dill (or sub flat leaf parsley)
  • 0.5 cup crumbled feta cheese
  • 1 large egg
  • 0.5 cup all-purpose flour (or gluten-free flour blend or almond flour + 1 more egg)
  • 0.5 tsp baking powder
  • 0.25 tsp fresh nutmeg
  • 0.25 tsp salt
  • 0.25 tsp pepper to taste
  • 1 tsp lemon zest optional
  • 2 tbsp olive oil

Method
 

  1. Grate the zucchini and let it sit with salt for 15-20 minutes to release water.
  2. Strain the zucchini to remove excess moisture and dry it using a kitchen towel.
  3. Preheat the oven to 350F.
  4. In a bowl, whisk the egg and mix in the zucchini, dill, green onions, feta, lemon zest, nutmeg, salt and pepper, and then stir in the flour and baking powder.
  5. Heat olive oil in a skillet and form batter into ping-pong sized balls, searing until golden brown on both sides.
  6. Transfer to the oven to cook through for about 10-15 minutes.
  7. Serve with Tzatziki Sauce and a dill sprig.
