Ingredients

  • 2 Zucchinis shredded
  • ½ cup GF All Purpose Flour
  • 2 Eggs
  • ½ teaspoon Baking Powder
  • 2 cloves Garlic minced
  • ¾ teaspoon Salt
  • ¼ teaspoon Pepper
  • 2 tablespoon Fresh Chives
  • 2 tablespoon Oil for sauteing; I use Avocado Oil

Optional

  • 2 tablespoon Nutritional Yeast we added this the last time we made them and loved the flavor!

Lemon Garlic Aioli Dipping Sauce

  • ½ cup Plain Greek Yogurt Use a plant-based brand for Dairy-Free; Mayo or sour cream work well also.
  • 2 tablespoon Lemon Juice
  • 2 cloves Garlic
  • ¼ teaspoon Salt
  • Pinch of Ground Pepper

Instructions

  • Place shredded zucchini in a colander over the sink. Press with a wooden spoon to drain excess liquid. You can then use a clean dish towel or paper towel to squeeze out any additional liquid. This step helps to keep the fritters crispier.
  • Place zucchini in a large bowl. Add seasonings-garlic, salt, pepper, chives and eggs- Mix well.
  • Add the flour and baking powder and mix until well combined.
  • Heat oil in a large skillet over med-high heat.
  • Drop tablespoons of the batter into the skillet, flattening lightly with a spatula.
  • Heat until the edges are golden and crispy- about 3 minutes each side.
  • Remove from the pan and transfer to a paper towel lined plate to cool.
  • Repeat the process until the batter is gone. Serve immediately. If not serving immediately, keep fritters on a baking sheet in the oven set to warm.

How to Make the Lemon Garlic Aioli Dipping Sauce

  • In a small bowl, mix together the mayo, lemon juice, garlic, salt & pepper. Stir well to combine and let sit for a few minutes to let the flavors meld. Store covered in the refrigerator if not using right away.
