Ingredients


  • 3 cups zucchini shredded and then measured, about 2 medium sized zucchini
  • 2 tbsp flax seeds ground
  • 2 tbsp lemon juice
  • 1/4 red onion large, sliced thin
  • 1/4 cup parsley chopped
  • 2 garlic cloves minced
  • 1 serrano pepper seeded, chopped
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1 tsp kosher salt
  • 3/4 cup chickpea flour

Instructions


  1. Using a box grater, shred the zucchini. Using a nut milk bag or clean dish towel, strain the zucchini very well until most of the water is removed. Add to a large bowl.
  2. In the same bowl, add all of the remaining ingredients from the ground flax to the flour. Mix to combine.
  3. Heat a skillet over medium heat, add some avocado oil (or ghee). Once hot, scoop about 1/3 cup of the zucchini fritters mix and flatten slightly with your hands. Place on the pan and press down with the back of a spatula. Cook for 4 to 5 minutes, until browned, then flip and cook for 4 minutes longer, until crispy.
  4. Remove the fritters and place on a plate. Continue cooking until all the fritters are cooked. Serve with dip and enjoy!
