I made this tonight. They were very moist. Good way to use an over abundance from the garden. --BUT-- The uncooked veggies plus feta (minus the flour, baking soda and frying) made a top notch salad. Will make a great salad bowl base. Next time I have these ingredients I will serve them raw (minus the flour, baking soda and frying) over spaghetti squash, halved, deseeded and cooked. Add a glass of wine and you have a perfect summer meal.

I changed around the spices a little bit, using what I had, including some homegrown mint. Really delicious! This recipe is definitely a keeper. It's nice to know that when my neighbors leave zucchini on my doorstep in August, I will be able to shred it and use it in future months to make these delicious fritters.

I'm sure flipping helps them crisp up, Chef John. I'm not sure why you wouldn't be supposed to do it. It's the reason why shallow-frying is a good idea for most deepfried dishes. The side that's not exposed to the oil releases water more easily. This is the same logic behind frying french fries twice, just on a smaller scale.
