Ingredients

Ingredients List:

2 medium zucchini
1 egg, beaten
½ cup breadcrumbs
1 tsp Christopher Ranch Minced Garlic
Pinch dried basil
Pinch dried oregano
½ tsp dried dill
1 cup Zoi Plain Greek Yogurt
1 tsp Christopher Ranch Minced Garlic
¼ tsp dried dill
1 tsp lemon zest
Juice from one lemon
Salt and pepper to taste

Preparation

Preheat & Prep
Preheat the oven to 400°F (205°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
Shred the Zucchini
Shred the zucchini using a box grater and place it in a medium bowl. Sprinkle with salt and let sit for about 15 minutes to release moisture. Wring out the zucchini using cheesecloth or paper towels, squeezing out as much liquid as possible.
Mix the Fritters
Return the zucchini to the bowl and add the beaten egg, breadcrumbs, garlic, basil, oregano, dill, and black pepper. Mix well to combine.
Bake the Fritters
Using a ⅓-cup measuring cup, scoop the zucchini mixture onto the prepared baking sheet and flatten slightly. Repeat with the remaining mixture. Bake for about 20 minutes, flip the fritters, then bake for another 15 minutes until golden and cooked through.
Make the Sauce
In a small bowl, whisk together the yogurt, garlic, dill, zest, salt, and pepper. Thin with a tablespoon of water or milk if desired.
Enjoy
Remove the fritters from the oven and let cool for 5 minutes. Serve warm with the yogurt sauce for dipping or drizzling.
