Steps:
- In a medium bowl, beat the egg. In a shallow baking dish or pie plate, combine the flour and garlic powder.
- Heat about 1 inch vegetable oil in a heavy-bottomed pot until a deep-fry thermometer inserted in the oil registers 375 degrees F.
- Using a mandolin or carefully with a knife, slice the zucchini into 1/8-inch rounds. Add a handful of the zucchini rounds to the bowl with the egg and toss to coat. Remove, allowing the excess egg to drain off. Dredge in the flour, shaking off the excess. Place in a single layer on a baking sheet. Repeat with the remaining zucchini rounds.
- Fry the breaded zucchini in batches until golden brown, 2 to 3 minutes. Drain on paper towels. Sprinkle with flaked sea salt while hot.
- Serve with Tzatziki and lemon wedges.
- In a medium bowl, stir together the yogurt, cucumbers, mint, red wine vinegar, salt and garlic. Refrigerate until ready to serve.

- Just before serving the tzatziki, fry the zucchini. Heat the olive oil in a large, heavy-based frying pan.

- Drain on kitchen paper, season with salt and serve at once with the tzatziki.

Steps:
- In a colander, sprinkle zucchini with 1 1/4 teaspoons salt; toss to combine, and let stand at room temperature 45 minutes. Transfer zucchini to a clean kitchen towel; squeeze out any remaining juice.
- In a large bowl, combine zucchini, remaining 1 1/4 teaspoons salt, scallions, dill, mint, eggs, and cheese. Fold in flour until just combined.
- Line a large platter or baking sheet with paper towels; set aside. In a large saute pan, heat 2 tablespoons oil over medium-low heat. Using half the batter, drop heaping teaspoons directly into pan to create about fourteen 1 1/2-inch patties, each about 1/4 inch thick. Cook patties, without flattening, until golden brown, about 2 minutes per side. Using a slotted spatula, transfer zucchini fritters to paper-towel-lined platter, and season with salt. Repeat with remaining batter and tablespoon oil. Serve immediately with tzatziki.
