The other day I was trying to come up with a way to use a large zucchini that had been in my fridge for a few days and was not going to last much longer. It was lunch time, and I was aching for food.
I didn’t feel like making a sweet treat with it, I didn’t feel like a vegetable soup or stir fry or pizza. I wanted the zucchini to be the star of the show.
So, I made zucchini fritters for lunch! And they were awesome.
I topped the zucchini fritters with some of my vegan sour cream that I’d made the day before, and it was delicious!

- 2 large garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tsp baking powder
- ½ cup kamut flour (or all-purpose)

- ½ tsp onion powder
- ¼ tsp freshly ground black pepper
- 1 tbsp olive oil
Instructions

Notes
To make sour cream: To your blender, add the following ingredients and blend until smooth: ½ cup cashews (soaked for at least 2 hours and drained), 1 tsp lemon juice, ½ tsp apple cider vinegar, ¼ tsp salt and ⅓-1/2 cup of water (as needed).
