Notes

How To Make This Zucchini And Feta Fritters 

  1. Place grated zucchini in a mesh strainer over a bowl, sprinkle with salt and stir to evenly distribute it. Let zucchini sit for 20 minutes, so they can release liquid, reason for that is salt has ability to draw water out of zucchini. This way fritters are crunchier and not mushy.
  2. After 20 minutes squeeze out as much liquid out of zucchini as you can.
  3. Preheat the oven to 350 F, line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  4. Combine zucchini, black pepper, garlic, olive oil, baking powder, dill, eggs, feta cheese and breadcrumbs in a bowl.
  5. Shape for about 2 tbsp patties and place them on the baking sheet, and leave some space in between.
  6. Bake at 350 F until golden for 20 to 30 minutes.
Make piping sauce by combining all ingredients in a small bowl.
I'll serve these Greek style zucchini fritters with garlic yogurt dill sauce, this sauce I'll serve with grilled or fried zucchini.
You can make or tzatziki, it'll work great. Addition of it makes the perfect Mediterranean inspired meal. This flavor pairs well with the zucchini.
Feta Cheese adds perfect saltiness to these cakes and helps in retain moisture inside.
What's important to make perfect healthy oven baked zucchini and feta cakes it to drain liquid from zucchini very well. 
You can add salt to the grated zucchini and let them sit for about 20 minutes.
Then squeeze as much as you can drain the liquid. This is one of the most important steps for this recipe.

No Flour (breadcrumbs) Zucchini  Fritters:

I'd made these feta and courgette fritters quite a few times and I'd to substitute the flour (breadcrumbs) with either crushed pork rinds or almond flour, both these ingredients are worked great, producing gluten free zucchini and feta fritters.
Flourless zucchini fritters that I made with crushed pork rinds were more moist than ones made with the almond flour. Baked zucchini fritters made with almond flour were slightly more dry and chewier but still tasted good.
You can substitute ¾ cup of breadcrumbs with ¾ cup of crushed pork rinds or ⅔ cups of almond flour. It'll be the low-carb Zucchini fritters. And also gluten-free.
If you want to use almond meal, you got your paleo zucchini feta fritters.
