This zucchini fritters recipe is not as basic as you think. The addition of crumbled feta cheese gives them a cheesy Greek twist that is oh so irresistible.
If you prefer them without feta, you can most definitely leave it out. You might even like to try a more filling and paleo friendly version like my paleo chicken zucchini fritters. Just be sure to serve them with some Greek yogurt sauce! You won’t regret it.
