These Baked Zucchini Fritters are flavored with feta cheese, fresh dill, and scallions. In my version, instead of using flour I used Panko breadcrumbs and ground oats as well as eggs to bind all the ingredients. You can serve them with fried eggs or as a side dish with any of your meat and vegetable dishes.
For the Zucchini Fritters
For the Yogurt Sauce: (optional)
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Prepare the zucchini: Shred the zucchini using the large holes of a box grater. Place the shredded zucchini in the middle of a clean kitchen towel, collect it from the sides and squeeze as much liquid as possible. You should have about 2 to 2 1/2 cups of zucchini. Set it in a bowl.
Mix together the grated zucchini, garlic, olive oil, baking powder, black pepper, eggs, feta cheese, Panko bread crumbs, scallions, and dill in a bowl.
Using a spoon or medium-sized ice cream scoop, scoop out about 2 tablespoons of the batter and drop onto the baking sheet. Continue until you run out of the batter. Gently press each fritter with your fingers to make flatten.
Bake for 22-25 minutes or until golden. Take it out of the oven and let it cool for 5 minutes before serving.
To make the yogurt sauce: Whisk together all the ingredients in a bowl.
Serve zucchini fritters with the yogurt sauce and more dill on the side.
