Ingredients
1.5 lbs Fresh Zucchini
0.5 cup Gluten-Free All-Purpose Flour
2 Large Halal Certified Eggs
0.25 cup Green Onions
2 cloves Garlic
1 tsp Fresh Lemon Juice
0.5 tsp Sea Salt
0.25 tsp Black Pepper
3–4 tbsp Olive Oil
Instructions
- Grate the zucchini using a box grater or a food processor with a shredding attachment
- Place the shredded zucchini in a bowl, sprinkle with a pinch of salt, and let it sit for 10 minutes to draw out moisture
- Transfer the salted zucchini to a clean kitchen towel or cheesecloth and squeeze with force until all excess liquid is removed
- In a separate bowl, whisk the halal certified eggs, then stir in the squeezed zucchini, gluten-free flour, sliced green onions, minced garlic, lemon juice, and pepper until combined
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat until it shimmers
- Scoop two tablespoons of batter per fritter into the pan, flattening them slightly with a spatula
- Fry for 3-4 minutes per side until they reach a deep golden brown and crispy texture
- Transfer to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil and serve immediately
Notes
Ensure your gluten-free flour blend contains xanthan gum for the best binding results.
The most critical step is squeezing the zucchini dry; any remaining moisture will result in soggy fritters.
Do not crowd the pan; fry in batches to ensure the oil stays hot enough to crisp the exterior.
To reheat, use an air fryer at 350°F for 5 minutes or a dry skillet to restore the crunch.
Chickpea flour can be used as a high-protein, grain-free alternative to all-purpose gluten-free flour.
