Oven-Baked Zucchini Fritters

These oven-baked zucchini fritters are a lighter twist on the classic. Instead of frying, they're baked until golden brown, giving you crisp edges and a tender, cheesy center with hardly any effort. Add the creamy feta dip on the side, and you've got an easy meal that's perfect for lunch, dinner, or sharing.

Ingredients

2 - zucchini
2 - eggs
1 clove - garlic
½ cup - Parmesan cheese
¼ cup - feta
2 tablespoons - sour cream
¼ cup - Greek yogurt
some chives
pepper and salt
3–4 tablespoons - all purpose flour
lemon juice

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Wash the zucchini and coarsely grate them using the large holes of a box grater. In a bowl, toss the grated zucchini with a generous pinch of salt and let them sit for 10 minutes.
Transfer the grated zucchini to a clean kitchen towel and squeeze out as much liquid as possible. Place the zucchini in a large bowl and add the eggs, flour, cheese, and garlic. Mix until well combined.
Using a tablespoon or cookie scoop, divide the mixture into 8 to 10 portions on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Gently flatten each mound into a fritter. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until golden brown around the edges.
Meanwhile, place the feta in a bowl and mash it with a fork. Stir in the cream cheese and yogurt until smooth. Finely slice the chives and stir them into the dip. Season to taste with black pepper and a squeeze of lemon juice.
Serve the zucchini fritters warm or hot with the feta dip on the side. They're at their crispiest straight from the oven but are still delicious once they've cooled.
