Instructions

Place the grated zucchini in a clean kitchen towel or cheesecloth and squeeze out any excess moisture.
In a mixing bowl, combine the grated zucchini, crumbled feta cheese, chopped dill, chopped parsley, chopped green onions, minced garlic, all-purpose flour, lightly beaten eggs, dried oregano, ground cumin, salt, and pepper. Mix well until all the ingredients are evenly incorporated.
Heat olive oil in a non-stick frying pan or skillet over medium heat.
Take spoonfuls of the zucchini mixture and gently drop them into the hot oil, pressing them down slightly to form a fritter shape. Cook in batches to avoid overcrowding the pan.
Fry the Kolokythokeftedes for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until they turn golden brown and crispy.
Once cooked, remove the fritters from the pan and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to absorb any excess oil.
Serve the Kolokythokeftedes hot as an appetizer, accompanied by tzatziki sauce or a squeeze of lemon juice.
