Ingredients & Substitutions
I love using gluten-free flour here, but feel free to swap it out for whole wheat if that's your jam. Nutritional yeast adds a lovely cheesy flavor without any nutritional yeast, and you can play around with the herbs based on what you have on hand. Dill is my favorite for a fresh touch, but basil or thyme work beautifully too!
Tips & Notes
- •I keep mine in a glass container in the fridge - they’re great for quick snacks or lunchbox additions!
- •If you like a little heat, try adding a pinch of red pepper flakes to the mixture.
Recipe Variations
- •Sometimes I add grated carrots or bell peppers for extra color and nutrition.
- •If you want to make them a bit heartier, you can mix in some cooked quinoa or chickpeas!
Storage & Freezing
These fritters store well in the fridge for 3-4 days. Just reheat in a skillet or toaster oven to get that crispy texture back. They also freeze beautifully, so feel free to batch cook and save some for later!
Frequently Asked Questions

Ingredients
Instructions
- 1
Start by grating your zucchini. I usually use a box grater and then give it a good squeeze in a clean kitchen towel to remove excess moisture. This helps the fritters crisp up nicely.
- 2
In a large mixing bowl, combine the grated zucchini, gluten-free flour, nutritional yeast, chopped green onions, and fresh dill.
- 3
In a small bowl, mix the ground flaxseed with water and let it sit for about 5 minutes until it becomes gel-like. This will act as your flax egg substitute.
- 4
Add the flax mixture and plant-based almond milk to the zucchini mixture. Season with salt and pepper, then stir until everything is well combined.
- 5
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add a tablespoon of olive oil. Once hot, scoop about 2 tablespoons of the zucchini mixture into the pan, flattening them slightly with a spatula.
- 6
Cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy. Add more oil as needed for the remaining batches.
- 7
Once cooked, transfer the fritters to a plate lined with paper towels to absorb any excess oil. Serve warm with your favorite dipping sauce!
