How do I get these zucchini fritters crispy without frying?

These fritters are baked in the oven at 425 degrees Fahrenheit for 10 minutes per side, ensuring they become crispy and golden brown.

What kind of flour is used to make these fritters gluten-free?

This recipe uses 1/2 cup of rice flour, which helps bind the fritters and keeps them naturally gluten-free.

What helps bind the zucchini fritters together?

The mixture is bound using 3 Tbsp of flaxmeal and 1/4 cup of nutritional yeast, creating a sticky consistency that forms into small dallops.

Can I prepare the zucchini mixture ahead of time?

To ensure the best texture, it's recommended to form and bake the fritters right after mixing the wet and dry ingredients, as zucchini can release moisture over time.

What are some good serving suggestions for these fritters?

These fritters are lovely on their own, as an appetizer, or atop a salad. The recipe also suggests serving them with a simple lemony avocado mayo or any condiment of choice.

How to Prepare Crispy Sesame Zucchini Fritters [Vegan, Gluten-Free]

Preheat oven to 425 degrees and lightly oil baking sheet, or line with a piece of parchment paper.
In a food processor, process onion, garlic, parsley and zucchini until all are a uniform size.
Transfer veggies to a large bowl and add all the dry ingredients, baking powder through flax meal. Stir well.
Wet your hands (mixture will be a bit sticky) and form into small golf ball sized dallops. Place on baking sheet evenly spread apart, and sprinkle the top of each with a generous amount of sesame seeds.
Bake for 10 minutes then remove from oven, flip them over and bake for another 10 minutes until crispy and golden brown. You may have to adjust cooking time based on oven, so give them a check around 8 minutes.
6. Serve with a simple lemony avocado mayo (see above) or any condiment of choice. Lovely on their own, as an appetizer, or atop a salad.

I made this today and i had to toss it. Very mushy, I had to bake it for long time to make it crispy and was too salty. It sicked to the parchment paper. I would make several changes like shred the vegetable , do not use the food processor , instead of rice flour i would use some cooked brown rice or quinoa or rolled oats. And only 1 or 2 TBSP of ground flaxseeds. I make vegan patties all the time , this was really no good mainly because of the texture .. Also the zucchini needs to be grated or you can use the salad shutter and then remove all the water with a towel.
