Instructions

Step 1
Set the colander over the mixing bowl. Toss the grated zucchini with the salt and leave it to drain for 15 minutes.

Step 2
Transfer the zucchini to the clean kitchen towel and squeeze firmly over the sink until no more liquid readily comes out. Empty and dry the mixing bowl.

Step 3
Place the squeezed zucchini in the bowl. Add the feta, eggs, spring onion, dill, mint, flour, baking powder, and black pepper, then fold into a thick, evenly combined mixture.

Add the olive oil to the frying pan and heat over medium heat until the oil shimmers.

Working in batches, spoon 12 equal portions of the mixture into the pan and flatten each to about 1 cm thick. Fry for 3–4 minutes per side until deep golden and cooked through.
-
Step 6
Transfer each cooked batch to a plate and let the fritters rest for 2 minutes.

Serve the fritters warm with the lemon wedges for squeezing over them.
