🇬🇷 Greece recipe

Kolokithokeftedes

Kolokithokeftedes are crispy, golden zucchini fritters from the island of Crete, bursting with fresh herbs, tangy feta, and the subtle sweetness of grated zucchini. Pan-fried until they develop a gorgeous crunchy crust, these fritters are served as a meze with tzatziki and are the perfect way to celebrate the abundance of summer squash.
