Ingredients

2 lbs 907 g zucchini (about 4 medium), tried, coarsely grated
3/4 teaspoon fine sea salt divided
3/4 cup 90 g chickpea flour
1 teaspoon 5 g baking powder
1/3 cup 75 mL plain nondairy milk
1 cup finely chopped green onions
2 teaspoons Sriracha
2 tablespoons cooking oil e.g., olive oil, avocado oil

Instructions

Set a mesh sieve or colander over the large bowl; line with a clean dish towel
Place zucchini on top of towel and sprinkle with 1/2 teaspoon of the salt. Let stand for at least 30 minutes
Gather the ends of the dish towel together and squeeze as much liquid as possible from the zucchini into the bowl; discard liquid and place zucchini in bowl.
Add the milk, green onions, chickpea flour, baking powder, Sriracha, and remaining salt to bowl; mix with wooden spoon until well blended.
Heat 1 tbsp of the oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Working in batches, drop 1/4 cupfuls of zucchini mixture into skillet, flattening slightly; cook until golden and crisp, about 3 minutes per side. Transfer fritters to a paper towel-lined plate. Repeat with remaining batter, adding remaining oil as needed.

Notes

*You can keep the fritters warm in a 200°F oven as you cook the batches.
*Feel free to vary these with your favorites herbs (e.g., basil, dill,cilantro) or a bit of nutritional yeast for a cheese-y flavor.
