Ingredient Breakdown
Zucchini: The Secret to Moisture & Texture
Zucchini makes these fritters soft, tender, and naturally moist. It also adds fiber and vitamins while keeping the fritters light. Squeeze out excess moisture before mixing to avoid sogginess.
Corn: Sweet & Crunchy Contrast
Corn provides a natural sweetness and a pleasant crunch, balancing the smoky spices beautifully. Use fresh, frozen, or canned corn—whatever is available!
Chickpea Flour & Flaxseed: The Egg Replacements
- Chickpea flour helps bind the fritters while adding a boost of plant-based protein.
- Flaxseed acts as an egg substitute, holding everything together while adding fiber and healthy fats.
Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Zucchini
- Grate the zucchini using a box grater or food processor.
- Place the shredded zucchini in a clean kitchen towel and squeeze out as much liquid as possible. This prevents the fritters from being too wet.
Step 2: Make the Fritter Batter
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the zucchini, corn, red onion, chickpea flour, flaxseed, baking powder, smoked paprika, cumin, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper.
- Add lime juice and mix well.
- If the batter feels too dry, add 1-2 tablespoons of water. It should be sticky but not runny.
Step 3: Cook the Fritters
- Heat olive oil in a non-stick pan over medium heat.
- Scoop about 2 tablespoons of batter for each fritter and flatten slightly in the pan.
- Cook for 3-4 minutes per side, until golden brown and crispy.
- Transfer to a plate lined with paper towels to absorb excess oil.
Step 4: Prepare the Avocado Salsa
- In a small bowl, mix together diced avocado, cherry tomatoes, red onion, lime juice, cilantro, salt, and red pepper flakes.
- Stir gently to combine, making sure the avocado stays chunky.
Step 5: Serve & Enjoy
- Serve the warm fritters with avocado salsa on the side or spooned on top.
- Garnish with extra lime wedges, dairy-free yogurt, or fresh herbs.
Tips and Variations
- Gluten-Free Option: Use chickpea flour or a gluten-free all-purpose flour blend.
- Spice it up: Add more red pepper flakes or a dash of cayenne to the fritter batter.
- Make it oil-free: Bake the fritters at 375°F (190°C) for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through.
- Extra protein: Add ¼ cup cooked quinoa or mashed chickpeas for more plant-based protein.
- Dipping sauce ideas: Serve with dairy-free tzatziki, tahini sauce, or spicy sriracha mayo.
