Preparation is straightforward: grated zucchini, which is not squeezed to retain its moisture, is combined with eggs, Skyr, and olive oil. Polenta, baking powder, grated mozzarella, and a pinch of salt are then added, creating a batter that thickens slightly after a 10-minute rest.

The mixture is shaped into small fritters, topped with sesame seeds, and baked at 180ยฐC (356ยฐF) for 25 to 30 minutes until golden brown. These versatile fritters can be enjoyed warm or cold, pairing well with fresh cheese, hummus, spreads, or a simple seasonal salad, making them suitable for breakfast, a snack, or a light meal accompaniment.
