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:
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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!
