Ingredients

  • 3 medium Zucchini

  • 1 teaspoon Salt

  • 3/4 cups All Purpose Flour

  • 1/4 cup Chickpea flour

  • 1/4 cup Arrowroot flour

  • 2 teaspoons Baking powder

  • 3 cloves Garlic minced

  • 1 small Onion minced

  • 2 tablespoons Olive Oil

  • Salt & Black pepper to taste

Dill Dip
  • 1/4 cup Vegan Mayonnaise

  • 2 teaspoons Dijon Mustard

  • 3 tablespoons Lemon Juice

  • ½ teaspoon Garlic powder

  • ½ teaspoon Onion powder

  • 1 tablespoon Fresh Dillweed

  • Salt & Black pepper to taste

Instructions

Using a box grater or food processor grate the zucchini, then place into a bowl and toss with salt and set aside to rest for 15 min. This will help remove excess water from the zucchini.

Once the zucchini is finished resting, use your hands to squeeze out all the water and remove the zucchini to another bowl while you discard the water.

Mix the flours, baking powder, garlic, and onion to the zucchini and season with salt and black pepper to taste.

Prepare a drying rack or plate with paper towels to rest the fritters on after frying.

Coat the bottom of a large skillet with oil and place on medium-high heat. Then, once the oil is hot, place a scoop of the seasoned zucchini mixture into the pan and press into the shape of a small patty with your spatula.

Cook on each side for 3-5 minutes or until the outside is crisp and golden, then remove to the drying rack. Continue to scoop and fry until all the mixtures have been used.

For an extra crispy fritter place the fried fritters into a preheated 350 °F/ 178 °C oven for 5-10 minutes.

Serve warm with the dip and enjoy.

Dill Dip

Using a food processor or high-powered blender add all the ingredients together and process until a smooth mixture then season with salt and black pepper.

Serve at room temperature or chilled as a dip for your fritters
