How to Make Our Crispy Veggie Fritters with Creamy Cucumber Dip
-
Prep the veggies:
Grate the zucchini and carrot, then squeeze out excess moisture using a towel. Add chopped spinach, onion, garlic powder, herbs, salt, and pepper. -
Add the binding ingredients:

Form the fritters:
Scoop about 2 tablespoons of the mixture per fritter and flatten slightly. -
Cook until crispy:

Make the cucumber dip:
In a bowl, combine Greek yogurt, grated cucumber, garlic, lemon juice, olive oil, salt, and dill. Stir well and chill for 10 minutes. -
Serve & enjoy:
Plate the fritters warm with a generous dollop of cucumber dip for the ultimate refreshing bite.

Tips & FAQs
1. Can I make these fritters in the air fryer?
Absolutely! Air fry at 375°F (190°C) for 10–12 minutes, flipping halfway for extra crispiness.
2. What can I use instead of almond flour?
For Slimming or Weight Watchers, use oat bran or blitzed rolled oats — they keep it wholesome but low-syn.
3. How can I make this fully Keto-friendly?
Stick to almond flour, full-fat Greek yogurt, and olive oil. Avoid carrots if you’re keeping carbs ultra-low — swap for extra zucchini.
4. How many WW points per serving?
Roughly 3–4 points depending on the oil and flour used.
5. Can I bake them instead of frying?
Yes! Bake at 400°F (200°C) for 20 minutes on parchment paper, flipping halfway.
