Zucchini Fritter Burger

The Zucchini Fritter Burger is a delightful, dairy-free twist on the classic American burger, featuring crispy-zucchini patties packed with flavor. Served on a toasted bun with fresh toppings, it’s a satisfying meal that’s both healthy and delicious.

Ingredients

• Zucchini - 300 grams, grated
• Chickpea flour - 100 grams
• Cornstarch - 2 tablespoons
• Garlic powder - 1 teaspoon
• Onion powder - 1 teaspoon
• Salt - 1 teaspoon
• Black pepper - 1/2 teaspoon
• Fresh parsley - 2 tablespoons, chopped
• Olive oil - 2 tablespoons (for frying)
• Whole grain burger buns - 2
• Lettuce leaves - 2
• Tomato - 1, sliced
• Avocado - 1/2, sliced
• Sriracha or your favorite sauce - to taste

Steps

1. Grate the zucchini using a box grater and place it in a clean kitchen towel. Squeeze out excess moisture until the zucchini is relatively dry.
2. In a mixing bowl, combine the grated zucchini, chickpea flour, cornstarch, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, black pepper, and chopped parsley. Mix until well combined.
3. Form the mixture into burger-shaped patties, about 1.5 cm thick. You should have about 4 patties.
4. Heat the olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add the zucchini patties and cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy.
5. While the patties are cooking, toast the whole grain burger buns until lightly browned.
6. Assemble the burger by placing a lettuce leaf on the bottom half of each bun, followed by a zucchini fritter, sliced tomato, sliced avocado, and a drizzle of Sriracha or your preferred sauce. Top with the other half of the bun.
7. Serve immediately and enjoy your Zucchini Fritter Burger!
