‘Cheezy’ Vegan Zucchini Fritters

Prep Time 20 minutes
Cook Time 15 minutes
Servings 6 Fritters

Ingredients

  • 500 g Grated zucchini (this measure is prior to squeezing outwater) (Approximately 3 cups)
  • 1/4 cup spring onion
  • 1.5 tsp crushed garlic (or adjust to your taste)
  • 1 cup chickpea flour (buckwheat or all purpose flour also works)
  • ¼ cup nutritional yeast
  • 1/2 cup fresh dill
  • 1/2 cup fresh parsley
  • 1.5 tsp baking powder
  • 2 tsp paprika
  • 2 tsp cumin
  • Pinch of Himalayan pink salt fine
  • ¼ cup vegan butter (melted)
  • Olive oil (for frying)
  • Vegan sour cream (For serving)

Instructions 

  • Grate zucchini and add it to a large mixing bowl. Add salt and mix in and leave standing for 10 minutes. The salt will slowly draw out the water from the zucchini.
  • After 10 minutes squeeze out excess water with your hands. Place squeezed zucchini in a separate bowl and discard the water.
  • Add in flour, spices, nutritional yeast and, parsley, dill and chopped spring onions.
  • Now add in melted butter – it should now be a batter like consistency. If your batter is too wet still, add in more flour.
  • Heat the frying pan, add oil and warm up.
  • Scoop batter onto pan in even sized amounts – fry and flatten about 3 minutes each side and nicely browned.
  • Serve immediately with vegan sour cream and garnish to serve. Enjoy!
