Instructions
- 1 Gather all ingredients.
- 2 Stir together tomatoes, zucchini, green onions, kosher salt, sugar, black pepper, oregano, and cayenne in a bowl to combine. Let sit for 15 minutes for the sugar and salt to draw out liquids from the vegetables.
- 3 Stir the tomato mixture; add parsley, mint, and basil. Crumble in feta cheese. Add flour and baking powder; mix with a spoon until combined. Batter should be relatively loose but will hold its shape on a spoon. If too loose, add more flour; if too dry, add some water until desired consistency is reached. Wrap the bowl in plastic wrap and let chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.
- 4 Heat 1 inch of vegetable oil in a frying pan over medium-high heat to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C), or use a deep fryer.
- 5 Place heaping tablespoonfuls of batter in the hot oil; reduce heat to medium. Fry until golden brown and cooked through, 2 to 3 minutes per side.
- 6 Flip once more and fry for an additional 30 seconds, if desired.
- 7 Serve warm or at room temperature.
