  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 eggs

    In a bowl, combine zucchini, feta, parsley, green onions, and garlic.
    Add eggs and mix well.
  3. Add dry ingredients:
    Stir in flour, baking powder, salt, and pepper until a thick batter forms.
  4. Cook fritters:
    Heat olive oil in a pan over medium heat.
    Scoop 2 tablespoons of mixture, flatten slightly, and fry for 3–4 minutes per side until golden brown and crispy.
  5. Drain:
    Place on paper towels to remove excess oil.
