Zucchini Fritters with Chickpea Flour
Health Highlights
Chickpea flour zucchini fritters that are healthy, vegan, grain-free, and so delicious!

Ingredients


4 1/2 cup Zucchini (-1/2; shredded; (about 4 medium; 2 lbs))
1/2 tsp Salt
3/4 cup Chickpea flour (aka gram or besan)
1 tsp Baking powder
1/3 cup Almond milk, unsweetened
1 cup Green onion (finely chopped, can use a mix of regular onion and green onion, or all of either.)
2 tsp Sriracha
2 tbsp Avocado oil
1 cup, shredded Cheddar cheese (optional - can use vegan shreds!)

Instructions


  1. Grate the zucchini into a large bowl, sprinkle with a little salt. Let sit for 5 minutes.
  2. Add the green onions, chickpea flour, baking powder, Sriracha, cheese (if using) and salt to bowl; mix with a spoon until well blended. Slowly add the non-dairy milk, using as much as needed to make the mixture come together enough to work with. Should be the consistency of a chunky muffin batter - able to scoop.
  3. Heat 1 tbsp of the oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Working in batches, drop 1/4 cupfuls of zucchini mixture into skillet, flattening slightly; cook until golden and crisp, about 3 minutes per side. Transfer fritters to a paper towel-lined plate. Repeat with remaining batter, adding remaining oil as needed. 
  4. Can pop them in a 375F oven for ~5-10 minutes to get them extra crispy if desired!
  5. Serve with your favourite dipping sauce - ranch, aioli, spice yogurt etc.


These can be frozen after they are cooked and stored in the freezer for up to a month. Re-heat in a 375F oven for 10-15 minutes from frozen.
