Zucchini Fritters

Zucchini fritters are a delightful vegan Greek breakfast dish that combines fresh zucchini with aromatic herbs and spices. Crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, they are perfect served with a side of vegan yogurt or a salad.

Ingredients

• Zucchini - 250 grams
• All-purpose flour - 50 grams
• Chickpea flour - 30 grams
• Nutritional yeast - 2 tablespoons
• Garlic powder - 1 teaspoon
• Dried oregano - 1 teaspoon
• Salt - 1/2 teaspoon
• Black pepper - 1/4 teaspoon
• Fresh parsley - 2 tablespoons, chopped
• Green onion - 2 tablespoons, chopped
• Olive oil - 3 tablespoons for frying

Steps

1. Grate the zucchini using a box grater and place it in a clean kitchen towel or cheesecloth. Squeeze out as much excess moisture as possible.
2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the grated zucchini, all-purpose flour, chickpea flour, nutritional yeast, garlic powder, dried oregano, salt, black pepper, chopped parsley, and green onion. Mix until well combined.
3. Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat.
4. Spoon about 2 tablespoons of the zucchini mixture into the skillet for each fritter, flattening them slightly with a spatula. Cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side or until golden brown and crispy.
5. Transfer the cooked fritters to a plate lined with paper towels to absorb excess oil. Repeat the process with the remaining mixture, adding more oil as needed.
6. Serve warm, optionally with a vegan yogurt dip or a fresh salad.
