Ingredients

For the fritters:

• 2 medium zucchinis (grated)
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/3 cup all-purpose flour (or substitute with almond flour for a gluten-free option)
• 1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese
• 1 large egg
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
• 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 tablespoons olive oil (for frying)

For the avocado lime dip:

• 1 ripe avocado
• 2 tablespoons plain yogurt
• 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
• 1 teaspoon honey (optional, for sweetness)
• 1 clove garlic (minced)
• 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro (chopped)
• Salt and pepper (to taste)

Instructions

Step 1: Prep the Zucchini

1. Grate the zucchinis and place them in a clean kitchen towel. Sprinkle with salt and let sit for 10 minutes to draw out the moisture.
2. Squeeze out as much water as possible to ensure the fritters are crisp.

Step 2: Make the Fritter Batter

1. In a bowl, combine the grated zucchini, flour, parmesan cheese, egg, garlic powder, smoked paprika, and black pepper. Mix well until evenly combined.

Step 3: Fry the Fritters

1. Heat the olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat.
2. Scoop 2 tablespoons of the mixture per fritter into the skillet and flatten slightly.
3. Cook each fritter for 3–4 minutes on each side until golden brown and crispy.
4. Transfer to a plate lined with paper towels to remove excess oil.

Step 4: Prepare the Avocado Lime Dip

1. In a blender or food processor, combine the avocado, yogurt, lime juice, garlic, honey (if using), cilantro, salt, and pepper. Blend until smooth and creamy.
2. Adjust seasoning as needed and chill until ready to serve.

Step 5: Serve and Enjoy

Serve the fritters warm with the avocado lime dip on the side. Garnish with a sprinkle of fresh cilantro or extra parmesan.

Tips for the Best Fritters

• Use a hot skillet and cook in small batches to keep the fritters crispy.

• Add a pinch of chili flakes to the dip for a spicy kick!
