Recipe Card
ingredients
- 3 1/2 cup grated zucchini
- 1 cups grated carrots
- 1/2 cups grated fine onion
- 1/3 cups chopped parsley
- 1 1/3 cups chickpea flour
- 4 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 1 teapsoons salt
- ground black pepper, cumin powder, dry garlic to taste
- dill fresh or dry for garnishing
Method
Step 1
First, trim the ends of the zucchini but don't peel it. Grate it on the coarse side of the grater. Over a strainer, with clean hands, squeeze out the excess liquid as much as can. Pour out the liquid out of the bowl.
Step 2
Next, grate carrots and onion. Finely chop up fresh parsley. Add grated carrots, onion, parsley, chickpea flour, and spices to the bowl with grated zucchini. Stir everything together until all is well incorporated. At this point, you can check the saltiness level and add more salt to taste, if needed. If the batter is too soggy, add more chickpea flour, a spoonful at a time.
Step 3
Using a 1/4 cup measure or ice cream scoop form little patties with your hands or just place them directly in the frying pan and flatten slightly with a spatula or spoon. (I cook5-6 at a time).
Step 4
Heat a nonstick frying pan or skillet, lightly greased with olive oil, (I used 4 tbsp) over medium to high heat. If you have a good non-stick frying pan you may not need a large amount of oil. Once hot, fry your veggie patties for 2-3 minutes, flip and cook for 2-3 minutes more, or until the patties are golden brown on both sides. After frying, place cooked vegetable fritters on a plate lined with a paper towel.
Step 5
Serve immediately while still hot or cold with a mustard sauce, creamy avocado dip,dairy-free yogurt, homemade hummus, fresh parsley, or dill. Enjoy as a side dish, snack, or appetizer. Store any leftovers in the fridge, covered in an airtight container, or freeze in a freezer-friendly container for up to 1 month. If frozen, thaw before reheating.
