Today I’m sharing a delicious Greek recipe: zucchini croquettes with feta and spices! In Greece, they’re often served as an appetizer, paired with tzatziki sauce.

This recipe makes 14 medium-sized croquettes.

Steps

30 minutes

1

Grate the zucchini, sprinkle with salt, and place in a colander. Let them drain for about 30 minutes. Squeeze well to remove excess water.
2

Mix all the ingredients together and add a little black pepper. I don’t recommend adding extra salt, since feta is already quite salty.
3

Heat the oil in a skillet. Shape the mixture into balls and gently flatten them. Prepare a small plate with flour. Quickly coat the croquettes in flour and fry them.
4

Drain the croquettes on a plate lined with paper towels.
5

And your croquettes are ready! Enjoy! 🇬🇷
