Directions

Prep 75 minCook 20 min
  1. 1

    Soak cashews for at least one hour, up to 4.

  2. 2

    Prepare a flax "egg” by mixing ground flaxseed and water and let sit 5-10 minutes until thickened.

  3. 3

    Meanwhile, grate zucchini, place in a colander set in the sink, and toss with salt. Let stand 10 minutes, then wring zucchini dry in a clean kitchen towel.

  4. 4

    Place zucchini in a large bowl and gently mix in flax egg, chickpea flour, chives, and arrowroot flour, and nutritional yeast. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

  5. 5

    Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Working in batches, drop 1/4-cupfuls of the zucchini mixture into skillet, flattening slightly. Cook until golden and crisp, about 3 minutes per side. Transfer fritters to a paper towel-lined plate.

  6. 6

    For cashew cream, combine cashews, water, lemon zest, lemon juice, white miso paste, and basil together in a high-speed blender, and blend until smooth.

  7. 7

    Serve fritters with lemon basil cashew cream.
