Gluten, Grain, Dairy, Nut, Egg and Refined Sugar Free – Vegan Friendly

These zucchini fritters are a great way of adding more vegetables (and less refined breads) into your diet. They can be eaten hot or cold. Add some cook meats or salads to eat as a main meal or to have as a snack, eat on their own or with some sweet chilli or guacamole.

INGREDIENTS:

• 4 cups grated zucchini (squeezed to remove excess liquid)
• 100g tapioca/arrowroot flour
• ½ leek diced
• 1½ teaspoon dried oregano
• 2 tablespoons nutritional yeast
• 3 tablespoons tahini *see notes
• 1½ teaspoon himalayan salt
• ground pepper to taste
• 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil for frying

METHOD:

1. Place grated zucchini into a large bowl, making sure to squeeze out any excess liquid first.
2. Mix remaining ingredients in with the zucchini.
3. Heat a large frypan to medium-high with oil.
4. Flatten a large, heaped tablespoonful of mixture into frypan and cook for about 5 minutes on each side until golden brown.
5. Keep covered until ready to serve.

NOTES:

* The tahini can be replaced with any nut butters, or simply omit if sesame seeds are a concern.
