Ingredients
- – 3 cups (720 ml) grated and squeezed zucchini
- – 1 teaspoon (5 ml) salt
- – 2 large eggs, whisked
- – 2 garlic cloves, minced
- – 1/2 teaspoon (3 ml) black pepper
- – 1/2 teaspoon (3 ml) dried oregano
- – 1/2 cup (60 g) oat flour
- – 1/2 teaspoon (3 ml) baking powder
- – 1/4 cup (30 g) crumbled cheese
- – 2 – 3 tablespoon (38 ml) olive oil
- – Use this recipe for easy tzatziki sauce.
Instructions
- Grate the zucchinis and put them into a big strainer or colander. Liberally sprinkle with salt (around ½ – 1 teaspoon) and let them rest for 10 minutes to help the extra liquid drain out. Afterward, use a clean dish towel or cheesecloth to thoroughly squeeze out any leftover moisture from the zucchini. This step is essential to avoid soggy fritters.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the drained zucchini, oat flour, beaten eggs, minced garlic, crumbled cheese, ½ teaspoon salt, black pepper, and baking powder. Adjust the seasoning with more salt and pepper to your liking, if necessary.
- Warm 2 to 3 tablespoons of olive oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat.
- With a spoon, drop about 2 tablespoons of the mixture onto the preheated pan for each fritter. Use a spatula to gently flatten them into shape.
- Cook the fritters for roughly 2 minutes on each side, or until they become golden brown and crispy.
- Once done, move the fritters to a plate lined with paper towels to soak up any excess oil.
- Serve the zucchini fritters hot with homemade tzatziki sauce on the side for dipping or drizzling. Relish your tasty and healthy gluten-free snack or side dish!
