Zucchini Fritters

INGREDIENTS

  • 2 medium zucchinis, grated

  • 1 teaspoon salt

  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour

  • 2 tablespoons nutritional yeast (optional, for a cheesy flavor)

  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder

  • 1/4 cup chopped green onions

  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley

  • Salt and pepper to taste

  • Olive oil for frying

PREPARATION

  1. Place the grated zucchini in a colander, sprinkle with salt, and let sit for 10 minutes to draw out excess moisture.

  2. Squeeze out the moisture from the zucchini using a clean kitchen towel or paper towels.

  3. In a bowl, combine the zucchini, flour, nutritional yeast, baking powder, green onions, parsley, salt, and pepper.

  4. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Drop spoonfuls of the zucchini mixture into the skillet, flattening them slightly with a spatula.

  5. Fry for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown and crispy.

  6. Drain on paper towels and serve hot, with a dollop of vegan sour cream or yogurt if desired.
