Ingredients:

  • 2 medium zucchinis (about 2 cups grated)
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour (or gluten-free flour)
  • 1/2 cup finely chopped onion
  • 2 cloves garlic (minced)
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 1 tsp dried oregano (optional)
  • 1/4 cup plant-based milk
  • Olive oil (for frying or baking)

Instructions:

  1. Prepare the Zucchini:
    • Grate the zucchinis using a box grater and place them in a clean kitchen towel. Squeeze out excess moisture to prevent sogginess.
  2. Mix the Ingredients:
    • In a large mixing bowl, combine the grated zucchini, flour, chopped onion, minced garlic, baking powder, salt, pepper, and oregano. Stir well to combine. Add plant-based milk gradually until a batter forms.
  3. Cooking Options:
    • Baking: Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Drop spoonfuls of the mixture onto the sheet, flattening them slightly. Bake for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway, until golden brown.
    • Frying: Heat a skillet over medium heat and add olive oil. Spoon the mixture into the skillet, flattening it slightly. Fry for 3-4 minutes on each side until crispy and golden.
  4. Serve:
    • Serve the zucchini fritters warm with your favorite dipping sauce, such as vegan ranch or salsa.

Enjoy these tasty zucchini fritters as a delightful addition to any meal or snack time!
