Ingredients
- 1 1/2 lb. zucchini about 4 medium
- 1 1/2 tsp. salt
- 1 cup crumbled feta cheese
- 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
- 3 large eggs
- 2 Tbsp. chopped fresh mint
- 1/2 tsp. grated lemon zest
- 1/2 tsp. ground cumin
- 1/4 tsp. pepper
- 1/4 cup vegetable oil
Instructions
- 1. Coarsely grate zucchini, transfer to a colander, and toss with salt; let sit for 10 minutes, then gather in a kitchen towel and wring out liquid.
- 2. In a large bowl, combine zucchini, feta, panko, eggs, mint, lemon zest, cumin, and pepper and stir until well-combined.
- 3. Heat 2 tablespoons oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering. Working in batches, drop 1/4-cup portions of fritter mixture into skillet, gently flatten with a spatula into 3"-wide patties, and cook until deep golden brown, 2 to 3 minutes per side.
