Crispy Zucchini Fritters

Crispy Zucchini Fritters are a delightful and healthy snack that combines the freshness of zucchini with a crunchy exterior. This dairy-free treat is perfect for any occasion, offering a burst of flavor in every bite.

Ingredients

• Zucchini - 300 grams
• All-purpose flour - 50 grams
• Chickpea flour - 30 grams
• Green onion, chopped - 2 tablespoons
• Garlic powder - 1 teaspoon
• Onion powder - 1 teaspoon
• Salt - 1 teaspoon
• Black pepper - 1/2 teaspoon
• Olive oil - for frying
• Fresh parsley, chopped - 2 tablespoons

Steps

1. Grate the zucchini using a box grater or food processor, then place it in a clean kitchen towel and squeeze out excess moisture.
2. In a large bowl, combine the grated zucchini, all-purpose flour, chickpea flour, green onion, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, black pepper, and chopped parsley. Mix until well combined.
3. Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add enough olive oil to coat the bottom.
4. Once the oil is hot, scoop about 2 tablespoons of the zucchini mixture into the skillet, flattening it slightly with the back of a spatula. Repeat with remaining mixture, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan.
5. Cook each fritter for about 3-4 minutes on each side or until golden brown and crispy.
6. Remove the fritters from the skillet and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to absorb excess oil.
7. Serve warm, garnished with additional parsley if desired.
