Eating in-season produce like zucchini is not only better for you but also supports local farmers and reduces your carbon footprint. That’s a win for both your health and the planet! 🌍💚

Crispy Zucchini & Cheese Fritters Recipe 🍽️

Serves: 4
Prep Time: 15 minutes
Cook Time: 10 minutes

Ingredients:

🥒 2 medium zucchini, grated and drained
🥬 1 cup fresh spinach, finely chopped
🧀 ½ cup feta cheese, crumbled
🧅 ¼ cup red onion, finely diced
🥚 2 large eggs
🌾 ½ cup oat flour (or almond flour for a low-carb option)
🥄 1 tsp baking powder
🌿 2 tbsp fresh dill, chopped (optional for extra flavour)
🧂 Salt & pepper to taste
🫒 2-3 tbsp olive oil (for frying)

Instructions:

1️⃣ Grate & Drain – Use the EasyPrep to quickly grate the zucchini and squeeze out excess moisture using a clean kitchen towel. This ensures the fritters stay crispy! 💧

2️⃣ Mix it Up – In a large bowl, whisk the eggs, then add zucchini, spinach, feta, onion, flour, baking powder, dill, salt, and pepper. Stir until combined.

3️⃣ Shape & Sizzle – Heat olive oil in a non-stick pan over medium heat. Scoop small portions of batter, flattening slightly.

4️⃣ Golden Perfection – Cook for 2-3 minutes per side until golden brown and crispy. Flip gently! 💛

5️⃣ Serve & Enjoy – Pair with Greek yoghurt or smashed avo for a delicious, wholesome meal. 🥑

Make It Your Own: Tasty Variations 🌟

• Dairy-Free? Swap feta for nutritional yeast for a cheesy flavour without the dairy.  🌾
• Extra Protein? Add chickpea flour for a plant-based protein boost. 💪
• Spice It Up! A pinch of smoked paprika or cumin adds a warm depth of flavour. 🌶️
• Baked Instead of Fried? Place fritters on a lined baking tray and bake at 180°C for 20 minutes, flipping halfway. A lighter option without compromising crispiness!
