Ingredients
FRITTERS:
- 3 medium zucchini shredded
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 small onion finely diced
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 2 tbsp water
- 1 tsp baking powder
- ½ cup all-purpose flour or gluten-free flour
- ¼ cup dill chopped
- ¼ cup parsley chopped
- ¼ tsp black pepper
- olive oil spray
YOGURT DIPPING SAUCE:
- 1 cup PLAIN yogurt dairy-free
- lemon zest and juice from one
- 2 tbsp dill chopped
- 2 tbsp parsley chopped
Instructions
FRITTERS:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and spray lightly with olive oil cooking spray.
- Place the shredded zucchini in a colander and toss with 1 tsp salt. Let this sit for 10-15 minutes – this will help draw the moisture out of the zucchini, so the fritters are not soggy.
- After allowing the zucchini to sit for 10-15 minutes, use your hands to gently squeeze as much moisture out of the zucchini as possible.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the zucchini, onion, olive oil, water, baking powder, flour, dill, parsley, and black pepper. Stir to form a batter.
- Scoop a large spoonful of the mixture, and use your hands to roll into a ball.
- Place on the baking sheet and press down gently to flatten slightly into a patty shape. Repeat the process until you’ve used all the batter.
- Lightly spray the tops of the fritters with olive oil spray.
- Bake for 15 minutes, or until golden brown, flipping them over halfway.
