Gluten-Free Zucchini Fritters

These are really like savory pancakes to be enjoyed hot, warm or room temperature.
Prep Time 10 minutes
Cook Time 20 minutes
Total Time 30 minutes
Servings 4 as part of a maza platter or appetizer

Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 onion diced
  • 1 medium zucchini grated (I used a food processor)
  • 2 cloves garlic crushed in a mortar and pestle with 1 teaspoon salt
  • 4 large eggs
  • 4 tablespoons gluten-free flour mix
  • 1/2 bunch fresh parsley minced
  • Pinch of freshly ground black pepper
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil

Instructions

  1. Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a medium skillet over medium heat; add onion and cook until it starts to soften, about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add zucchini and cook until softened and the water has evaporated, about 8 minutes, stirring occasionally; add garlic and cook 1 minute more, stirring occasionally. Cool slightly.
  2. Lightly beat together eggs, flour, parsley, and pepper in a medium bowl. Stir in zucchini mixture.
  3. Lightly coat a large cast iron skillet or nonstick skillet with 1 tablespoon oil. Drop batter into hot pan using a small cup (about 2 tablespoons). Fry until set and golden on one side, about 2 minutes; flip and cook until set and golden on the other side, about 1 minute.
  4. Transfer cooked fritters to a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil, and cook the remainder egg mixture in the same way, adding more oil to the skillet as needed.
