Vegan Zucchini Fritters

These Vegan Zucchini Fritters are crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, making for a delightful lunch option. Packed with flavor and nutrition, they're perfect served with a tangy vegan yogurt dip.

Ingredients

• Zucchini - 2 medium (about 300g)
• All-purpose flour - 1/2 cup (60g)
• Chickpea flour - 1/4 cup (30g)
• Nutritional yeast - 2 tablespoons (15g)
• Garlic powder - 1 teaspoon
• Onion powder - 1 teaspoon
• Salt - 1/2 teaspoon
• Black pepper - 1/4 teaspoon
• Paprika - 1/2 teaspoon
• Fresh parsley, chopped - 2 tablespoons
• Olive oil - 3 tablespoons (for frying)
• Lemon juice - 1 tablespoon

Steps

1. Grate the zucchini using a box grater and place it in a clean kitchen towel. Squeeze out excess moisture and set aside.
2. In a mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, chickpea flour, nutritional yeast, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, black pepper, paprika, and chopped parsley.
3. Add the grated zucchini and lemon juice to the dry ingredients and mix until well combined. The mixture should be thick but manageable.
4. Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Once hot, scoop about 1/4 cup of the zucchini mixture into the skillet for each fritter, flattening them slightly.
5. Cook the fritters for 3-4 minutes on each side or until golden brown and crispy. Add more oil as needed for the second batch.
6. Remove the fritters from the skillet and place them on a paper towel to absorb excess oil. Serve warm with a vegan yogurt dip or your favorite sauce.
