Ingredients
  

2 medium zucchinis, grated

1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese

1/2 cup feta cheese, crumbled

1/2 cup all-purpose flour

2 large eggs

1/4 cup finely chopped green onions

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 tsp dried oregano

1/2 tsp paprika

Salt and pepper to taste

Olive oil, for frying

Instructions
 

Prepare the Zucchini: In a large bowl, add the grated zucchini and sprinkle with salt. Let it sit for about 10 minutes to draw out excess moisture. Afterward, use a clean kitchen towel or cheesecloth to squeeze out as much liquid as possible.

    Mix the Ingredients: In the same bowl, combine the drained zucchini, sharp cheddar cheese, feta cheese, all-purpose flour, eggs, green onions, minced garlic, oregano, paprika, and season with salt and pepper. Mix until well combined.

      Form the Patties: Using your hands or a scoop, form the mixture into small patties, about 2-3 inches in diameter. Place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

        Heat the Oil: In a large skillet, heat about 1/4 inch of olive oil over medium heat. Make sure the oil is hot but not smoking.

          Fry the Patties: Once the oil is ready, carefully place a few patties in the skillet, leaving space between each. Fry for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy. You can adjust the heat as needed to prevent burning.

            Drain Excess Oil: Once cooked, transfer the fritters to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.

              Serve and Enjoy: Serve the zucchini and cheese fritters warm, garnished with a dollop of sour cream or Greek yogurt, and a sprinkle of fresh herbs if desired.
