Directions

Prep 15 minCook 15 min

1
Prepare the flax 'eggs' by mixing ground flaxseed with water. Let it sit for 10-15 minutes until it forms a sticky, egg-like consistency.
2
Line a colander with a clean dish towel or paper towels and set it over a sink or plate. Grate the zucchini using a julienne peeler, box grater, or food processor. Add the zucchini to the colander, sprinkle with salt, and let it sit for 10-15 minutes to sweat.
3
Meanwhile, chop the other vegetables, then squeeze the excess water from the zucchini using the towel and set aside.
4
In a large bowl, combine the zucchini, corn, red bell pepper, basil, scallions, flour, cornmeal, flax 'eggs', lemon juice, nutritional yeast, almond milk, salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Mix well.
5
Heat coconut oil in a large pan over medium heat. Scoop 1/4 cup of the mixture for each fritter, place in the pan, and flatten gently into a pancake shape. Cook until golden brown, about 3-4 minutes per side. Transfer to a paper towel to blot excess oil. Repeat with remaining mixture, adding more oil as needed.
