Grate the courgette/zucchini and finely chop the spring onions and herbs.
3 medium Zucchini
Squeeze the excess liquid out of the grated zucchini in a clean teatowel or robust paper towels.
3 medium Zucchini
In a bowl add the flour and seasonings. Mix.
65 g plain flour
Add the courgette, vegan feta, spring onions, parsley, chilli & salt & mix to combine.
3 medium Zucchini, 4 spring onions, 3 tablespoon fresh parsley, 3 tablespoon fresh dill, ½ teaspoon chilli flakes, pinch salt, 150 g vegan feta
Add the flax seed mix bit by bit and stir very well until a thick batter forms. Add a little extra water, or flour as needed to make the mix cohesive.
3 tablespoon ground flax seeds mixed with ⅓ cup water., extra water or plant milk in case the batter isn't wet enough
If Pan Frying
Heat the oil in a large frying pan, then dollop in big tablespoon fulls. I like to do 5 or so at a time.
2 tablespoon Olive oil
Once a bit of a crust has formed, squish with a spatula & cook a bit longer.
Flip & cook on the other side.
Drain on paper towels & cook the next batch.
Eat while warm.. Squabble over the last one!
If Air Frying
Heat your air fryer to 180°C/350°F and set it to 15 minutes
Lay out as many fritters as you can without them touching in the air fryer. (How many depends on your fryer)
Brush or spray a little olive oil over the fritters and cover both sides.
Air fry for up to 15 minutes or until crispy.
Notes
Cooking Tips:
If Air Frying the vegan zucchini fritters, be sure to brush or spray both sides with a little olive oil so you get a nice crispy outer.
The key to crispy, delicious fritters is to be sure to really squeeze out as much liquid as possible after grating the zucchini.
STORAGE:This recipe keeps well in the fridge for 2-3 days. You can re-heat the fritters by pan frying or in the air fryer. I also like to eat them cold, standing at the fridge, they go a little soggy, but I like that!I do not recommend freezing this vegan zucchini fritter recipe.
