Servings: 10 fritters
Calories: 92kcal
Ingredients
- 4 cups shredded zucchini about 4 medium-size zucchini
- 1½ cups corn kernels fresh or frozen and defrosted (about 8 ounces)
- ¾ cup chopped green onions about 6 green onions
- 3 garlic cloves minced
- 1¼ cup chickpea flour
- 2 teaspoons ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon salt & pepper
- high heat oil
- nacho cashew cream for serving
- black beans, salsa and avocado for serving
Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine shredded zucchini, corn, green onions, chickpea flour, garlic, cumin, oregano, thyme, salt & pepper. Stir together until well combined. Allow to sit for at least 5 minutes. This step is important because the flour will absorb the moisture from the zucchini and create a batter.
- Warm a large non-stick skillet over medium heat. Grease with preferred cooking oil then scoop out 1/4 cup of the zucchini mixture at a time into the skillet. Cook for about 3-5 minutes on each side, until light golden brown. Serve warm with black beans, salsa, nacho cashew cream and/or avocado then enjoy!
