Baked Zucchini Fritters
These oven‑baked zucchini fritters are a quick, tasty way to enjoy zucchini that turns it into something crispy on the outside and tender inside — all without frying. The grated zucchini is drained of excess water, mixed with eggs, whole‑grain flour, garlic, and grated Parmesan (or Pecorino), then shaped into small fritters and roasted until golden. They’re especially delicious served with a creamy Feta dip made from feta cheese, Greek yogurt, and herbs like chives, and make a healthy snack, side dish, or light main that even non‑vegetable lovers will enjoy.
