Time:
- 3.5 cups Grated Zucchini
- 1 cup All Purpose Flour
- ¼ cup Nutritional Yeast
- 1 tsp Salt
- ½ tsp Crushed Garlic
- 1 ½ tsp Baking Powder
- ¼ cup Vegan Butter
- 2 Spring Onions Chopped
- ½ tsp Crushed Garlic
- 2 Tbsp Olive Oil for frying
- Vegan sour cream for serving
- Spring onions for servi
Directions:
- Grate the zucchini and put it in a bowl with the other ingredients. Sprinkle the salt on top, then mix. Then, you should wait ten minutes. Because of the salt, the zucchini will let out more water.
- Then, squeeze the water out of the zucchini with your hands or a paper towel. Put the zucchini that has been strained into a separate bowl and throw away the water.
- After squeezing the zucchini and putting it in a clean bowl, add the flour, nutritional yeast, baking powder, crushed garlic, and chopped spring onions. It will be quite fragile.
- To make a thick batter, mix in the melted vegan butter.
- Set the oven to 210°F (100°C) and put a grill rack on top of a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Put your fritters in this dish to keep them warm.
- In a frying pan, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Once the frying pan is hot, use an ice cream scoop or cookie scoop to put even amounts of batter in it. If you don’t have a cookie scoop, each fritter will take about 1/4 cup.
- Use your spatula to press the top down and make it flat. Depending on the size of your pan, you can cook a few at once.
- Let it cook for about 3 minutes on each side before you flip it. When both sides are nicely browned, put the fritters on a baking sheet and put it in a warm oven.
- Use the rest of the olive oil in the pan to cook the next batch.
- Serve with minced chives and vegan sour cream.

Advice for zucchini grown from plants:
- If your mixture sticks together well even without the vegan butter, your zucchinis have more water. In this case, it would be best to add less vegan butter.
- There might be different ways to measure flour. Because of this, it is best to weigh your flour. You can also use the spoon and level method.
- Before shredding your zucchini, weigh it as a whole to get an idea of how much you have, and then weigh it again after shredding to be sure.
- Use a high heat. Let a small amount of oil heat up in the pan before adding the fritters. Then, let each side get nice and brown.
- Use your hands or a dish towel to squeeze the zucchini to get rid of any extra water.
