Zucchini Fritters

Vegetables
Serves 4-6, as side
We like to add goat cheese or a Greek Kasseri Sheep cheese because it makes them taste saltier and drier. Zucchini is full of fiber and it’s nutritious too. Leave a ½ hour for the zucchini to dry before assembling. These fritters are a great substitute for potatoes.
