Zucchini Latkes (Gluten-Free, Kosher for Passover)

Zucchini is officially joining the crispy latke club, and it’s bringing big flavor. Golden-brown, flecked with herbs, and loaded with garlicky goodness, these fritters are egg-free, gluten-free, Passover-approved, even keto-friendly and dangerously easy to eat by the handful.

Instructions

  1. Grate the sweet potatoes and onion using a food processor with a shredding disc or box grater.
  2. Place the shredded zucchini and onion into a colander or wire mesh strainer and squeeze out and discard as much liquid as possible. Transfer the drained mixture to a large bowl.
  3. Add the minced garlic, gluten-free flour, chopped parsley, crushed coriander seeds, black pepper, and salt. Stir until the mixture is well combined and loosely holds together.
  4. For frying, heat canola or sunflower oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once the oil is hot, scoop approximately ¼ cup of the mixture for each latke and flatten slightly. Fry for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy. Transfer the latkes to a wire rack suspended over a baking sheet to drain excess oil. Repeat with the remaining mixture, adding more oil as needed. If you are cooking a large batch, you can keep the wire rack and baking pan in an oven set to 250°F (120°C) to keep them warm while cooking the remaining batches.
  5. For air frying, preheat the air fryer to 375°F (190°C). Lightly spray the air fryer basket with cooking spray or brush with olive oil. Form the zucchini mixture into small patties and place them in the basket in a single layer. Lightly spray or brush the tops with oil. Air fry for 10-12 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden brown and crispy.
  6. Serve warm, garnished with parsley leaves, dill leaves, or minced red onion if desired.

Notes

  • 🔥 Crispy Business
  • Keep the oil at medium heat—too hot, and the latkes burn outside while staying raw inside; too cool, and they turn greasy.

  • 🍳 Latke to My Heart
  • Fry in batches, leaving space between each latke. Overcrowding lowers the oil temperature, leading to soggy, sad latkes that fall apart.

  • ⚙️ Shreddy or Not, Here I Come
  • A food processor makes grating faster and ensures uniform shreds, which cook more evenly.

  • Drain latkes on a wire rack, not paper towels—trapped steam makes them soggy. The rack keeps them crisp.
