Zucchini Fritters

Zucchini Fritters are super easy, yummy, and a great way to eat your vegetables. I especially enjoy making them during the summertime when my garden produces lots of zucchinis.

Ingredients

• 4 zucchinis (20 oz.)
• 1 1/4 tsp. salt
• 2-3 garlic cloves minced
• 1/4 cup brown rice flour
• 1 egg, beaten
• 1/8 tsp. black pepper
• 1/2 tsp. oregano
• 1/2 tsp. hot pepper (serrano) minced
• 1 tbsp. ground flaxseed
• 3 tbsp. avocado oil
• 1 tsp. clarified butter (optional)

Prep Time: 15 min
Cook Time: 8 min
Servings: 4 

 Directions

• Grate the zucchinis and spread it on a pan sheet. Sprinkle it with 1 tsp. salt, and let it sit for 5-10 minutes.
• Meanwhile, add the garlic, 1/4 tsp. salt, black pepper, oregano, and hot pepper to the beaten egg and mix
• Add the zucchinis to a cheese cloth and twist it over a bowl to squeeze out the water
• To the squeezed zucchinis, add the flour and the beaten egg mixture and mix well
• Add the flaxseed and mix
• Scoop a heaping tablespoon of the zucchini mixture (about 2 oz.). Using your hands, shape it into a ball and then flatten it with the palm of your hands to make a patty. Place the patty on a side plate.
•  Repeat the above step for the rest of the mixture.
• In a heated skillet, add the oil and the butter
• Place the zucchini patties on the skillet and cook them for 3 minutes on medium heat
• Flip on the other side, then press the fritters down to flatten them and cook for an additional 3 minutes

Vegan Option: Replace the eggs with  a mixture of 1 tbsp. flaxseed and 3 tbsp. water. Let the mixture sit for 15 minutes before using it in the recipe.
