Ingredients

  • 2 medium zucchinis, grated
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup chickpea flour
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup green onions, chopped
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional)
  • Oil for frying
  • For the Garlic Sauce: 1/2 cup vegan mayonnaise, 1 tablespoon lemon juice, 1 clove garlic, minced, salt to taste

Instructions

  1. Prep the Zucchini: Grate the zucchinis and sprinkle with salt. Let them sit for about 10 minutes to draw out excess moisture. Squeeze the grated zucchini to release any remaining liquid.
  2. Mix the Fritter Batter: In a bowl, combine the grated zucchini, chickpea flour, all-purpose flour, green onions, parsley, minced garlic, black pepper, and cayenne pepper (if using). Mix until well combined.
  3. Fry the Fritters: Heat a tablespoon of oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Drop spoonfuls of the mixture into the skillet, flattening them slightly. Cook for 3-4 minutes on each side or until golden brown. Remove and place on a paper towel to drain excess oil.
  4. Prepare the Garlic Sauce: In a small bowl, mix together the vegan mayonnaise, lemon juice, minced garlic, and salt. Adjust seasoning as needed.
  5. Serve: Plate the fritters hot with the garlic sauce on the side for dipping.
