  • 1 large egg
  • 4 oz feta cheese, crumbled
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1/3 cup almond flour
  • 2 scallions, diced
  • 2 tbsp fresh dill, chopped
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp onion powder
  • 1/2 tsp paprika
  • 3 tbsp olive oil, for frying
  • lemon wedges, for serving
  • 1/2 cup Greek yogurt
  • 1 tbsp Greek yogurt
  • 3 tbsp mayonnaise
  • 1 1/2 tbsp red wine vinegar
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 tbsp milk
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/4 tsp dried dill weed

Equipment

  • large mixing bowl
  • large skillet
  • whisk
  • spatula
  • meat thermometer

Method
 

  1. In a large bowl, combine the ground chicken, squeezed zucchini, egg, feta, mozzarella, Parmesan, almond flour, scallions, dill, salt, garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika.
  2. Mix thoroughly until evenly combined.
  3. Scoop approximately 1/3 cup of mixture per fritter, roll into a ball, then flatten into patties.
  4. Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
  5. Add fritters without overcrowding the pan. Cook in batches if necessary.
  6. Cook for 4–5 minutes per side until deeply golden brown and the internal temperature reaches 165°F.
  7. Add additional olive oil between batches as needed.
  8. While the fritters cook, whisk together the Greek yogurt, mayonnaise, red wine vinegar, olive oil, milk, salt, garlic powder, and dried dill weed until smooth.
  9. Serve the fritters warm with lemon wedges and the ranch dip on the side.

Notes

Squeeze as much moisture as possible from the grated zucchini before mixing to ensure the fritters hold together properly. Refrigerating the shaped patties for 15 minutes before cooking helps them maintain their shape. Use full-fat feta for the best flavor and texture.
