Summer Squash Fritters (Vegan)
Makes 10 small fritters
These summer squash fritters are a great way to enjoy one of summer’s most popular vegetables. Zucchini and yellow squash are full of nutrients such as fiber, potassium, and vitamin C. Their mild and slightly sweet flavor makes them a versatile vegetable that can be prepared and cooked in a variety of ways. This recipe is one of my favorite ways to enjoy summer squash. The fritters come together in a flash and take only a few minutes to pan fry. I like to serve them with a creamy dill sauce made with hemp seeds and fresh dill.
Ingredients:
2 medium zucchini, shredded
1 medium yellow squash, shredded
½ cup onion, diced
½ cup whole wheat flour
½ cup unsweetened soymilk
1 tsp. garlic powder
½ tsp. salt
¼ tsp. pepper
Coconut oil
Creamy Dill Sauce Ingredients:
1/3 cup hemp seeds
½ cup unsweetened soymilk
¼ cup fresh dill, chopped
1 tbsp. lemon juice
½ tsp. salt
¼ tsp. pepper
Directions:
- In a large bowl, mix together whole wheat flour and soymilk. Add shredded zucchini, squash, onion, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Mix well.
- Over medium high heat, pan fry the fritters in ½ tbsp. of coconut oil for 2-3 minutes on each side. I used a large pan and was able to pan fry 4 fritters at a time. The edges should get golden brown and crispy. Serve with creamy dill sauce and enjoy!
