Zucchini Fritters

INGREDIENTS

• 2 cups shredded zucchini (squeeze excess liquid out with paper towel) 

• ½ cup finely diced red onion

• 1 cups chopped greens (kale,collard,dandelion)

• 1 cups chickpea flour

• ½ teaspoon onion powder

• ¼ cup fresh dill

• 4 teaspoons ground flax seed (or use an egg)

• ¼ cup aquafaba (juice from cooked or canned chickpeas)

INSTRUCTIONS

1. Combine flax seeds and aquafaba in a small bowl, wisk, set aside to let it form into a gel (this is the binder)

2. Squeeze all the liquid from the zucchini, let it sit in a colander to dry while you chop onions and dill, then squeeze it again (if it is wet the fritters will not stay together)

3. Saute onions until they are caramelized

4. In a large bowl combine zucchini, cooked onion, dill, salt/pepper, greens, onion powder, and chickpea flour, mix until combined

5. Add the flax aquafaba gel to the mix

6. Scoop our ½ cup of mixture and form into patties

7. In a hot skillet with avocado or grapeseed oil pan fry the fritters until golden brown

8. Serve immediately, save leftovers in fridge. They also freeze well and can be reheated in the oven or skillet!
