Recipe #1: Zucchini & Chickpea Fritters with Lemon-Tahini Sauce

Ingredients

Equipment

• Large mixing bowl
• Box grater (or food processor with grating attachment)
• Measuring cups and spoons
• Nonstick skillet or frying pan
• Spatula
• Paper towels
• Small whisk or fork (for sauce)

Instructions

1. Prepare flax “egg”: In a small bowl, mix ground flaxseed with water. Let sit for 5 minutes until thickened.
2. Grate and squeeze zucchini: Grate zucchini, place in a clean towel, and squeeze out as much moisture as possible.
3. Mash chickpeas: In a large mixing bowl, mash chickpeas with a fork until mostly smooth, leaving some texture.
4. Combine ingredients: Add zucchini, flax “egg,” almond flour, parsley, garlic powder, cumin, salt, and pepper to the bowl. Mix until combined and the mixture holds together when pressed.
5. Shape fritters: With damp hands, form mixture into 8 small patties (about 1/4 cup each).
6. Cook fritters: Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add fritters and cook for 3-4 minutes per side, until golden and crisp. Work in batches if needed.
7. Drain: Transfer cooked fritters to a plate lined with paper towels.
8. Make sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together tahini, lemon juice, water, garlic powder, and salt until smooth. Add more water, a teaspoon at a time, to reach desired consistency.
9. Serve: Plate fritters with a drizzle of lemon-tahini sauce and a sprinkle of fresh parsley.

Tips & Variations

• Don’t skip squeezing the zucchini! Too much moisture will make the fritters fall apart.
• Try swapping parsley for cilantro or dill for a fresh twist.
• Bake instead of fry: Place fritters on a parchment-lined baking sheet and bake at 400°F (200°C) for 20 minutes, flipping halfway.
• Add grated carrot or chopped spinach for extra color and nutrition.
• For a nut-free version, use sunflower seed flour in place of almond flour.

“The secret to perfectly crisp vegan fritters is removing as much moisture as possible from your veggies. Don’t be shy—squeeze that zucchini!”
