Zucchini carrot fritters – quick and crispy
easy vegan zucchini carrot fritters – fast, crispy, gluten-free
These crispy vegetable pancakes are also perfect for the low-carb friend. By using zucchini instead of potatoes, they are low in carbohydrates.
Even though our fritters are made with zucchini and carrots, you can add almost any vegetable you need to consume. Do you have any radishes left? Bring it on. What about the last bit of that sad pile of kale? Bring it on. This recipe is versatile and a great way to whip up a meal in a flash.
These vegetable patties are vegan because we use ground flaxseed as an egg substitute and this guarantees that the mass will hold together well. Instead of flour, we use cornstarch made from potatoes or corn, so the boys are also gluten-free.
Plus, these bad guys freeze perfectly. Before freezing, simply slide baking paper or parchment paper between each fritter for easier removal when you need it. They can be a quick on-the-go snack or a convenient lunch during the work week. Would you like to see how they are made?
This recipe uses carrots, zucchini, red onions, and fresh oregano, but don’t limit yourself to just these veggies. The sky is the limit when it comes to fillings for vegan vegetable pancakes. The veggies will soften slightly in the center of the patties while the outside gets nice and crispy. Once you remove them from the pan, quickly sprinkle them with salt while they’re still hot to help the spices stick.
topping
And of course, veggie pancakes aren’t complete without a sauce. Vegan yogurt or cream, a squeeze of fresh lemon juice, and some chopped spring onions make a delicious combination. A dash of vegan tartar sauce or Asian sweet chili sauce would also fit the bill. But don’t hesitate to take a walk on the sweet side with applesauce similar to latkes.
