Ingredients You'll Need to Make This Zucchini Fritter Recipe

• Fresh Zucchini
• Gluten Free All Purpose Flour. I have tested this recipe with both bob's Red Mill 1 to 1 Flour and King Arthur Measure for Measure Flour and both worked out well!
• Eggs
• Baking Powder
• Seasonings & Herbs: garlic, chives, salt & pepper.
• Oil for Sauteing. I always use avocado oil.

How to Make These Gluten Free Zucchini Fritters

Start by grating your zucchini, drain it in a colander using a dish cloth or paper towel, then combine all of your ingredients in a bowl. Next, scoop the batter onto a hot skillet, flattening with a spatula. Saute the fritters in hot oil until lightly browned on both sides. Flip, repeat, and serve!

Ingredients

• 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.
