Vegan Oil Free Zucchini Fritters
Vegan oil free zucchini fritters make a great healthy snack or a tasty side dish with dinner. Gary and I grow zucchini in our garden every year, so I am always looking for good ways to cook and eat them. My favorite way to cook them in my big non-stick frying pan,. I love it and use it for everything. My food doesn’t stick (no oil cooking) and it is very easy to clean. I’m thinking of purchasing a large, non-stick griddle to cook the fritters and my vegan pancakes, but that is for another day.
Get the Ingredients for Vegan Oil Free Zucchini Fritters:
- 1 med zucchini
- 1 Tbsp. ground flaxseed
- 2 Tbsp. water
- 1/4 cup whole wheat flour
- 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 2 Tbsp. cornstarch
Let’s Start Cooking:
I use one zucchini to make about 8 medium size fritters. Grate the zucchini and place in a bowl, sprinkling a little salt over the top. Let it sit for 10 minutes. While that is setting, make your flax egg by mixing ground flaxseed with water. That needs to set for 10 minutes as well. Once 10 minutes is up, grab a handful of zucchini and squeeze out as much water as you can.
Turn on the heat for the frying pan, allowing it to pre-heat before cooking. Next, add the zucchini to the flax egg and stir until zucchini is covered in the flax “egg”. Finally, add whole wheat flour or gluten free flour and mix well. Take a handful of the mixture and make it into patties. Place in the frying pan and cook for at least 3 minutes, or until brown on the bottom. Flip the fritters over and cook on the other side until it reaches your desired crispiness. These patties go nicely with my black bean soup.
