Step-by-Step Instructions for Healthy Zucchini Fritters
  1. Wash and trim the zucchini. Grate it finely and remove excess moisture using a clean kitchen towel.
  2. Combine the drained zucchini with eggs, oat or almond flour, optional Parmesan, Greek yogurt, minced garlic, salt, and pepper to form a sticky batter.
  3. Heat the skillet over medium heat and pour in olive oil until it shimmers.
  4. Scoop about 2 tablespoons of batter to form a patty and place it in the skillet. Repeat with remaining batter.
  5. Cook fritters for 3-4 minutes until golden brown. Flip and cook for another 2-3 minutes.
  6. Transfer cooked fritters to a paper towel-lined plate to absorb excess oil.
  7. For air frying, preheat the air fryer to 400°F (200°C) and cook for 8-10 minutes, flipping halfway.
