Instructions:
1. Grate and Salt the Zucchini:
- Grate the zucchinis using a box grater and place them in a colander.
- Sprinkle salt over the grated zucchini and let them sit for 10-15 minutes. This helps draw out excess moisture.
2. Squeeze out Excess Moisture:
- After letting the zucchini sit, use your hands to squeeze out as much moisture as possible. This step is crucial for achieving crispy fritters.
3. Prepare the Zucchini Fritter Mixture:
- In a large bowl, combine the grated and drained zucchini with all-purpose flour, grated Parmesan cheese, minced garlic, chopped parsley, crumbled feta cheese, and the beaten egg.
- Mix well until the ingredients are evenly combined.
4. Preheat the Dash Electric Griddle:
- Preheat your Dash Electric Griddle to 375°F (190°C) for optimal cooking.
5. Cook the Zucchini Fritters:
- Lightly oil the griddle surface.
- Spoon the zucchini mixture onto the griddle, forming small rounds. Flatten them slightly with the back of the spoon.
- Cook for approximately 3-4 minutes on each side or until the fritters are golden brown and crispy.
6. Prepare the Tzatziki Sauce:
- While the fritters are cooking, prepare the Tzatziki sauce by combining Greek yogurt, diced cucumber, minced garlic, chopped fresh dill, salt, and pepper in a bowl.
7. Serve and Enjoy:
- Plate the crispy Zucchini Fritters and serve them hot with a dollop of Tzatziki sauce on the side.
