The word fritter usually conjures up something heavy and deep-fried, but these zucchini pancakes are as light and delicate as can be. Shredded zucchini is combined with eggs, garlic, scallions, feta and dill, and then pan-fried in olive oil until crisp on the exterior and tender on the interior.

Ingredients

  • zucchini: 1 pound (about 2 medium, trimmed)
  • salt: 1 tsp
  • large eggs: 2 piece
  • scallions: 2 piece (minced)
  • dill: 2 Tbsp (chopped; fresh)
  • feta cheese: 0.5 cup (crumbled)
  • garlic: 1 clove (medium, minced or pressed through a garlic press)
  • black pepper: 0.25 tsp
  • cornstarch: 0.25 cup (or all purpose flour)
  • baking powder: 0.5 tsp
  • olive oil: 6 Tbsp (+ Lemon wedges, for serving)
