Preparation duration: -1 minutes

Cooking duration: -1 minutes

 

Ingredients:

2 tbsp breadcrumbs

2 eggs, beaten

½ cup flour

1 tsp Garlic Powder

1 lemon, juiced

4 tbsp Olive oil, for pan frying

1 tsp Onion Powder

1 tbsp Grated Parmesan Cheese

½ cup parsley, chopped

1 tsp Pepper

Plain Greek Yogurt

2 zucchini (about 8 oz each) trimmed

Equipment:

food processor

bowl

frying pan

baking sheet

paper towels

Cooking instruction summary:

  1. Chop the zucchini into small pieces. Place in food processor and pulse until there are small bits left. (If you have a grating attachment on your food processor you can use that instead).
  2. In a medium bowl add zucchini, lemon juice, parsley, flour, eggs, spices, Parmesan cheese, and breadcrumbs. Mix together until evenly distributed.
  3. Place olive oil in a large frying pan and heat over medium high heat. Working in batches, add a little less than a cup of batter to the frying pan for each fritter. Cook until golden brown on the bottom, about 45 seconds. Flip over and cook until golden brown on the other side.
  4. Place a few layers of paper towel on a baking sheet or plate. Once fritters are done, transfer to the lined baking sheet or dish and let the paper towel soak up extra oil.
  5. Garnish with more lemon juice and a dollop of Greek yogurt before serving.

Food Trivia

The reason why peppers taste hot is because of a chemical compound called capsaicin, which bonds to your sensory nerves and tricks them into thinking your mouth is actually being burned.

Food Joke

My boss was complaining in our staff meeting the other day that he wasn't getting any respect. Later that morning he went to a local sign shop and bought a small sign that read, "I'm the Boss". He then taped it to his office door. Later that day when he returned from lunch, he found that someone had taped a note to the sign that said. "Your wife called, she wants her sign back!"
