Time:
- Preparation – 15 Mins
- Cook: 12 mins
- Total: 27 mins
Ingredients:
- 3.5 cups Grated Zucchini
- 1 cup All Purpose Flour
- ¼ cup Nutritional Yeast
- 1 tsp Salt
- ½ tsp Crushed Garlic
- 1 ½ tsp Baking Powder
- ¼ cup Vegan Butter
- 2 Spring Onions Chopped
- ½ tsp Crushed Garlic
- 2 Tbsp Olive Oil for frying
- Vegan sour cream for serving

Directions:
- Add the zucchini that has been grated to a mixing dish. Sprinkle over the salt, then incorporate. Then, wait for ten minutes. The salt will encourage the zucchini to release extra water.
- Then, squeeze the zucchini with your hands or a paper towels to remove the extra water. Place the strained zucchini in a separate basin and discard the liquid.
- After squeezing the zucchini and placing it in a clean mixing bowl, add the flour, nutritional yeast, baking powder, crushed garlic, and chopped spring onions. It will be quite fragile.
- Mix in the melted vegan butter to make a thick batter.
- Preheat the oven to 210°F (100°C) & line a baking sheet with parchment paper over a grill rack. To keep your fritters warm, lay them in this dish.
- Allow 1 tablespoon of olive oil to heat in a frying pan. Once the frying pan is heated, use an ice cream scoop/cookie scoop to spoon out even amounts of batter into it. If you don’t have a cookie scoop, use approximately ¼ cup for each fritter.
- Use your spatula to flatten and press it down from the top. You can cook a couple at a time, depending on the size of your pan.
- Allow it to cook for a few minutes before flipping – around 3 minutes per side. When both sides are beautifully browned, place your cooked fritters on a baking pan in a preheated oven to keep warm.
- Repeat with the remaining olive oil in the frying pan for the next batch.
- Serve with vegan sour cream and minced chives.

Tips For Plant Based Zucchini:
- If your mixture comes together quite well without the addition of vegan butter, then your zucchinis include more water. In this instance, less vegan butter can be added.
- Flour measures might be inconsistent. Thus it is recommended to weigh your flour. Use the spoon and level approach as an alternative.
- Weigh your whole zucchinis before shredding them to get the approximate quantity, and then weigh them again after grating to guarantee precision.
- Cook over high heat. Before adding the fritters, allow the pan to heat up with a small amount of oil. Then, let them brown well on each side.
- Squeeze the zucchini to remove extra moisture using your hands or a dish towel.
