For the Fritters

Equipment

  • box grater
  • colander
  • Mixing Bowl
  • Spatula
  • heavy-bottomed skillet

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Begin by grating two medium zucchinis using a box grater or food processor. Once grated, place the zucchini in a colander lined with paper towels. Squeeze tightly to remove excess moisture, ensuring the fritters won't turn soggy.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the drained zucchini with dried onion flakes, garlic powder, nutritional yeast, tamari, and fresh dill. Pour in a tablespoon of olive oil and add arrowroot powder, then mix thoroughly using a spatula.
  3. Allow the zucchini mixture to rest for 15 minutes.
  4. In a heavy-bottomed skillet, heat about 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat.
  5. With clean hands, scoop out portions of the zucchini mixture and shape them into patties, about 2-3 inches wide. Carefully place them in the hot skillet without overcrowding. Fry the fritters for 3-5 minutes until they're golden brown on one side.
  6. Gently flip each fritter using a spatula, and continue cooking for another 3 minutes until the second side is golden brown.
  7. Once cooked, transfer the fritters to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
  8. Serve the fritters warm, ideally with a side of vegan garlic-dill sour cream.

Notes

Grate and drain the zucchini well to avoid sogginess. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days, or freeze for longer storage.
