Greek Zucchini Fritters with Tzatziki

Originating on the isle of Crete, Kolokithokeftedes are now popular throughout all the Greek Islands and incorporate classic Greek flavors to delicious effect. Translating to ‘zucchini meatball,’ Kolokithokeftedes make a delicious and satisfying meal, especially when paired with creamy tzatziki. In the recipe below, traditional white flour is swapped for chickpea flour, making these fritters gluten-free and packed with plant-based protein and fiber. The Greek yogurt in the tzatziki also packs an impressive protein punch, offering bone-strengthening calcium and gut-protecting probiotics. Serve with a grain salad for a satisfying and well-rounded meal. These fritters are an excellent candidate for meal planning- make a double batch and freeze them to have a healthy, quick meal at your fingertips.
