They were extra-extra-large! Plus-size beauties for sure. I made several loaves of <a href=\"https:\/\/alexandracooks.com\/2007\/07\/19\/zucchini-bread\/\">zucchini bread<\/a>, which were actually zucchini cake, and wow were they decadent. But I only want to eat so much dessert before I&#8217;m like, what&#8217;s for dinner?<br>These zucchini fritters are very versatile and as simple as can be. But. I had a few epic fails before I realized if they are too wet, from all the moisture exuded by the zucchini, they will not cook up into an edible dish. So don&#8217;t skimp on the chickpea flour, and don&#8217;t add salt until right before you scoop the batter into the pan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"819\" src=\"http:\/\/www.sparkledesign.net\/fidget\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/20210602_165513-1024x819.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1346\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.sparkledesign.net\/fidget\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/20210602_165513-1024x819.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.sparkledesign.net\/fidget\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/20210602_165513-300x240.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.sparkledesign.net\/fidget\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/20210602_165513-768x614.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.sparkledesign.net\/fidget\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/20210602_165513-1536x1229.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.sparkledesign.net\/fidget\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/20210602_165513.jpg 1731w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>From <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thekitchn.com\/vegetable-fritters-22903492\">The Kitchn<\/a><br>Perfect as an accompaniment to soups, eggs, and other simple meals.

Grate zucchini into a medium bowl. For each cup of grated zucchini, stir in 1\/4 cup chickpea flour. Keep adding more flour, a tablespoon at a time, until the mixture is sticky. It&#8217;s OK if it looks wet, but should not be drippy. Grind some black pepper in.<br>When pan is hot, add 2 Tbsp sunflower oil and turn heat up to medium. Stir several generous pinches of salt into zucchini mixture. Scoop by 1\/4 cup portions into pan, flattening slightly. (3 or 4 will fit.) Flip when they are nicely browned around the edges. When browned on second side, remove to paper-towel-lined plate. Add another 1\/2 Tbsp oil if needed, and fry another batch of patties. Best served immediately, but they will keep a day or two to reheat in the toaster oven.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Perfect as an accompaniment to soups, eggs, and other simple meals.
