Servings: 4
Calories: 125kcal
Cost: $2.50
Ingredients
- 3 cups grated zucchini , about 3 medium zucchini or 1 pound
- ½ cup breadcrumbs , gluten free if needed
- ¼ cup almond flour , or regular flour if you don’t need gluten free
- ¼ cup chopped green onions
- 2-3 tablespoons vegan remoulade , sour cream or plain yogurt (see note)
- ¾ teaspoon sea salt , may vary depending on sauce used
- ½ teaspoon ground black pepper
- ¾ teaspoon garlic powder
Recommended sides:
- Cajun rice & beans , I use the Knorr® Cajun Sides Red Beans & Rice
- Shredded lettuce
- Cucumbers
- Vegan remoulade , extra to drizzle on top
Instructions
- Mix ¼ teaspoon salt with the grated zucchini. Allow it to sit for a few minutes while you assemble the other ingredients.
- Squeeze out the liquid from the grated zucchini. I like to put it in a paper towel and squeeze.
- Mix all ingredients in a bowl (along with the remainder of salt).
- Shape into patties (or you could do balls or tot shapes).
- Cook in a pan over medium heat for 7-9 minutes on each side. You could also try baking at 400 F/ 205 C for about 10-12 minutes on each side.
- Serve with sides of choice! See post for serving ideas.
Notes
- If you use a sour cream or plain yogurt you may need more salt since the remoulade has salt.
- Start with 2 tablespoons sauce/cream/yogurt and mix well. If it seems too dry after a few minutes then add more. The amount depends on how much liquid you were able to get out of the zucchini.
- You can also cook your own rice and beans, but this ready mix made this dinner super fast.
- This recipe makes 8 fritters, serving size is 2 fritters. Nutrition info will vary depending on the sides chosen.
