Instructions

6 steps

1
Grate the zucchinis using the large holes of a box grater. Place the grated zucchini in a colander, toss with 1 tsp of salt, and let it sit for 20 minutes to draw out the water.

2
Place the zucchini in the center of a clean kitchen towel and twist tightly to squeeze out as much liquid as absolutely possible. The zucchini must be very dry.
3
Transfer the dry zucchini to a large bowl. Add the chopped green onions, dill, mint, crumbled feta cheese, and beaten eggs. Mix well.
4
Sprinkle the flour and baking powder over the mixture and fold it in until just combined. The batter should be thick and cohesive.
5
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat until shimmering.
6
Drop heaping tablespoons of the batter into the hot oil, flattening them slightly with the back of the spoon. Fry for 3-4 minutes per side until deep golden brown and crispy. Drain on paper towels and serve hot.
