Grate zucchini using a box grater or food processor attachment.

Sprinkle grated zucchini with 1 teaspoon of salt and mix well.

Let zucchini sit for at least 30 minutes to 1 hour to draw out moisture.

Chop fresh dill finely, including some of the stems.

Slice green onions finely.

Grate mozzarella cheese and crumble feta cheese.

After the zucchini has rested, place it in a dish towel or cheesecloth and squeeze out as much moisture as possible.

In a mixing bowl, combine squeezed zucchini, grated mozzarella, crumbled feta, chopped green onions, chopped dill, coconut flour, and eggs.

Add salt and black pepper to the mixture and mix until just combined, being careful not to overmix.

Form the mixture into small balls and flatten them slightly.

Heat avocado oil in a skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering.

Add fritters to the skillet when the oil is hot, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan.

Lower the heat to medium-high to prevent burning while allowing the inside to cook.

Cook fritters for about 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown.

Once cooked, place fritters on a plate lined with paper towels to absorb excess oil.
