Zucchini and Bell Pepper Fritters with Herb Yogurt Dip

Print Recipe

Zucchini and bell pepper fritters are crisp on the outside, tender inside, and bursting with fresh flavor. Paired with a tangy herb yogurt dip, they make a light appetizer, side dish, or vegetarian main.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 medium zucchinis, grated
  • 1 bell pepper (any color), finely diced
  • 1 small onion or 2 scallions, chopped
  • 2 eggs
  • ½ cup all-purpose flour
  • ½ tsp garlic powder or 1 clove garlic, minced
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Olive oil (for frying)
  • 1 cup Greek yogurt
  • 2 tbsp fresh herbs (parsley, dill, or mint), chopped
  • 1 tsp lemon juice

Instructions

  1. Grate zucchini, sprinkle with a pinch of salt, and let sit for 10 minutes. Squeeze out excess moisture.
  2. Combine grated zucchini, diced bell pepper, and chopped onion in a bowl.
  3. In a separate bowl, beat eggs, then stir in flour, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
  4. Add vegetable mixture to the batter and stir until combined.
  5. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Drop spoonfuls of batter and flatten slightly into fritters.
  6. Cook each fritter for 3–4 minutes per side until golden and cooked through. Drain on paper towels.
  7. Mix Greek yogurt with fresh herbs, lemon juice, salt, and pepper to make the dip.
  8. Serve fritters warm alongside the herb yogurt dip.

Notes

  • Firmly squeeze zucchini to ensure crisp fritters.
  • Add crumbled feta or parmesan to the batter for extra flavor.
  • Try adding chili flakes or diced jalapeño for a spicy version.
  • Bake at 200°C (400°F) for ~20 minutes, flipping halfway, for a healthier option.
  • Store fritters in the fridge for up to 3 days or freeze layered with parchment paper.
