Zucchini fritters are a delicious and fun way to get more vegetables into your diet. I grew up eating all kinds of different vegetable fritters and now I’m raising my kids up enjoying them too. My kids love\u00a0their vegetable “pancakes” and I’m happy they love eating them!<\/p>\n
One of the things I love about zucchini is its mild flavor. I use them frequently as a pasta replacement. Just one cup of zucchini is just 36, contains copper, manganese, vitamin C, magnesium, phosphorous, B vitamins, and much more. Using zucchini is a great way to keep your calories low while punching up the nutrition you consume from real foods.<\/p>\n
Traditionally, American Fritters are made with\u00a0an egg, buttermilk, and wheat flour mixture. Well, mine are dairy free (if you use avocado oil), use gluten free oat flour, and can sub 2 flax eggs for chicken eggs. For this recipe you’ll use; 2 6-7 inch long zucchini, 1\/3 cup oat flour, 1 scallion, 1\u00a0eggs (or two flax eggs), and a tsp of garlic salt.<\/p>\n
First, you will use a cheese grater to shred your zucchini. Place on a couple paper towels or a cheese cloth and squeeze out the moisture. Place in a medium sized bowl. Mix in oat flour and garlic salt. Gel flax eggs or scrambled chicken egg, and add to the zucchini mixture. Using a fork mix well. Preheat your skillet on medium heat. Add butter or avocado oil, and coat pan evenly. Make flat patties the size of your palm and add to hot pan. Cook for 2-3 minutes each side, until lightly brown. Place on a plate until you’ve cooked all the patties. Serve warm.<\/p>\n
