Ingredients

  • 2 cups shredded zucchini about 2 medium zucchini
  • 3 green onions chopped
  • ½ tablespoon minced garlic about 3 cloves
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon freshly cracked black pepper
  • 2 tablespoon nutritional yeast
  • ½ cup shredded vegan cheese
  • ½ cup - ¾ cup garbanzo bean flour more or less as needed
  • 1 cup vegetable oil for frying

Instructions

  • First, grate the zucchini either by hand or using a food processor. Place your shredded zucchini in a tea towel or several layers of paper towels, and squeeze out as much excess water as possible.
  • Add the drained zucchini to a large bowl, and to it, mix in the green onions, minced garlic, garlic powder, salt, pepper, nutritional yeast, and shredded vegan cheese.
  • Mix in ½ cup of the garbanzo flour, until mixture is thick and like a soft cookie dough consistency. Add more garbanzo flour as needed if it is too runny.
  • To cook, heat the vegetable/canola oil in a large shallow pan over medium heat. When the oil shimmers, it is ready to fry.
  • Add spoonfuls of the batter carefully into the oil to create fritters. Cook the fritters on each side until golden brown, about 4-6 minutes per side. When cooked, remove the fritters from the oil and place on a plate or baking sheet lined with paper towels to absorb the excess oil. Sprinkle with salt and pepper while still warm.
  • Serve immediately with mayonnaise or your favorite sauce for dipping!
