Vegan Zucchini Fritters (Gluten Free)

These Vegan Zucchini Fritters are gluten free, crisp on the outside and soft and flavourful on the inside! All in under 30 minutes.

It would be a shame not to make these vegan zucchini fritters, given how simple they are. First, grate the zucchini, squeezing out as much water as possible. Then, mix all the ingredients, and put them in the pan. Simple. The key is squeezing the water out of the zucchini, which is up to 95% water content. This will ensure that your fritters are nice and crispy on the outside, but still soft and oh so incredibly delicious on the inside. Just reading this, I’m getting hungry all over again, and I’ve had this three meals in a row. Oops.

Aside from the incredibly taste, vegan zucchini fritters kind of seemed like a must share. A summer meal not requiring an oven, check, that literally looks like summer, check, that is really, really easy to make. Check. Making them gluten free was definitely a must too, because everyone should be able to eat these, as was making them vegan. I usually use coconut flour as a thickener, so it only made sense to use it here.   They were so good that I had to resist devouring them right out of the pan. Okay okay, I definitely had a few out of the pan. But look at them; can you really blame me?!

I’m not sure if it’s these fritters, or zucchinis in general, or just both but we’ve actually been on a slight zucchini binge here. That, and the new season of Orange is the New Black, of course. This is probably the 4th zucchini I’ve grated in a few days, and my husband just picked up 4 more. At this point, I’m not sure who loves them more, me or him. Either way, I’ll be making even more of these fritters throughout summer. Looks like summer, tastes like summer, it must be summer, right?

Instructions

• Add the grated zucchini to a cheesecloth or thin kitchen towel in a colander over your kitchen sink. Sprinkle with the 1 teaspoon of salt and leave to drain for 10 minutes.
• After ten minutes, squeeze as much liquid out of the zucchini as possible. This is a crucial step to not making your fritters soggy!
• Add to a bowl and mix in all the other ingredients until just combined.
• Form fritter balls the size of 2 tablespoons and slightly flatten them on a plate or baking sheet with your fingers until you get about 10.
• Heat the oil in a pan over high heat. Add the zucchini fritters, leaving some space between each, and cook on each side until golden brown, about 4 minutes. Flip, and cook for another for minutes.
• Serve with some vegan sour cream, lime crema or vegan greek yogurt and lime wedges to squeeze over. Enjoy!
