Zucchini Fritters with Vegan Sour Cream

April 15, 2014 23 Comments

Zucchini-Cakes

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!

These zucchini fritters make the perfect appetizer, and also work great for lunch or dinner (especially when paired with a salad!).
Author: Vegan Insanity
Recipe type: Appetizer
Serves: 2
Ingredients
  • 1 large zucchini, grated
  • ½ tsp salt
  • 2 large garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • ½ cup kamut flour (or all-purpose)
  • ½ tsp coriander
  • ½ tsp onion powder
  • ¼ tsp freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
Instructions
  1. Sprinkle some salt over your grated zucchini, allow to sit for about an hour to remove some water.
  2. Put the zucchini in a large, clean dish towel, and squeeze out any excess water. Put zucchini in a large bowl.
  3. Add in the minced garlic, flour, coriander, onion powder, and black pepper. Mix well.
  4. Form into balls and press gently to flatten.
  5. Heat oil in a large pan over medium heat. Cook until golden (about 5 minutes), then flip and cook for another few minutes, or until that side has also browned lightly.
  6. Serve, with a dollop of vegan sour cream on top (or on the side).
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).

    I followed the recipe except I used coconut flower. All was going good until fry time. They were hard to keep together, crumbly. When done I took a bite and spit out promptly because the texture. Dry like eating flour. Was the flower substitution the problem? I’m giving it 4 stars because I’m hoping the mistake was on me…

    Made both the fritters and the sour cream and absolutely loved them! We used them as a main for dinner and found that using one zucchini didn’t quite make enough for two people – just an excuse to make more. 😉 Delicious!
