    Vegan Veggie Fritters

    Vegan Veggie Fritters that are so simple and also gluten free! Easy, packed full of veggies and fiber. Crispy on the outside. Similar to a potato pancake! #vegan #fritters

    What is a fritter anyway? It’s like a scrumptious savory pancake!

    Sort of like a potato pancake but with added veggies for color, fiber and phytonutrients! I’m all about these Vegan Veggie Fritters. When you want pancakes for dinner but you’re also in a savory mood… you need these in your life. We can have a lot of moods you know?! I’m here to provide yummy recipes for all of them.

    I love these delicious fritters because they’re EASY to throw together and consist of all the good basic veggies like zucchini, carrot, potato and onion. Yes, potatoes. I feel like people are now scared of white or gold potatoes but I’m here for them. Did you know potatoes are high in vitamin c, potassium and phytonutrients like carotenoids and flavonoids! They’re not evil! And they really help to hold this fritter together. Of course sweet potatoes may be higher in fiber and some minerals but I still love a good potato moment once in a while.

    A potato moment, LOL. What has food blogging done to my brain?

    Alongside the veggies, we have fresh parsley, chickpea flour, ground flax, plain nut milk of your choice, cumin, salt and pepper. That’s literally it. Oh and red pepper flakes if you want a little heat, but totally optional.

    First, I started by boiling the potatoes because they take the longest. While they’re boiling away, I chopped the onion, then shredded the zucchini and carrot using a grater. You could shred them in a food processor, they just won’t have the same shape (will be ground instead of shredded) and may become too water-y that way. Add them to a bowl with the other dry ingredients. By that time, the potatoes should be soft enough to pierce through with a fork. I added them to the bowl and mashed them with a fork. No need to mash them perfectly… you can leave some chunks. This recipe is rustic… just another reason I love it! Mix everything together until well combined! Heat the oil in your pan, form the fritters and get to frying!

    I served my veggie fritters with my vegan sour cream, but I also think my cucumber tzatziki sauce would be bomb with them. YUMMM.

    Description

    Simple, easy, delicious vegan veggie fritters! Served with vegan sour cream or my favorite cucumber tzatziki sauce.


    Ingredients

    Scale

    4 small gold potatoes, quartered (or 2 large white potatoes)

    1/2 onion, diced

    2 large zucchini, grated

    2 large carrots, grated

    1/2 cup parsley

    1/2 cup chickpea flour

    2 tablespoons ground flaxseed

    1/2 cup plain nut milk (I used almond)

    1.5 tablespoons ground cumin

    1 teaspoon sea salt

    1/2 teaspoon black pepper

    1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)

    2 tablespoons avocado oil (for frying)


    Instructions

    First, fill a large pot with water and bring to a boil, then boil the potatoes for 20-25 minutes until soft and can be pierced through with a fork.

    While those are boiling, start chopping the onion and then shred the zucchini and carrots using a grater. You can shred them in a food processor, they just won’t have the same shape (will be ground instead of shredded) and may become too water-y that way.

    Transfer the onion, zucchini and carrot to a large mixing bowl. Add the parsley, chickpea flour, ground flax, nut milk, cumin, sea salt, black pepper and optional red pepper flakes. 

    By this time, the potatoes should be done. Transfer them to the bowl and lightly mash with a fork. No need to mash them perfectly… you can leave some chunks. Then mix everything together until well combined!

    On the stove, heat the oil in a pan. Once hot, begin forming the fritters in your hands and then fry them in the pan for 4-5 minutes on each side. Do this until all the batter is used.

    Serve with sour cream or tzatziki sauce and a leafy green salad!

      I loved these! After reading a few comments, I did not include the cumin. I also did not include all the zucchini as it was a little wet. I even added some roughly chopped up sweet potatoes. The other thing I changed was I used Quinoa Flour instead of Chickpea. These turned out great, no issues with being soggy etc. .

      i finely chopped the zucchini and carrots to try to avoid things getting too watery, but i think there needed to be a higher potato ratio to make frying possible. or maybe a chilling in the fridge for half an hour before making the fritters into discs ?? i don’t know, either way, it didn’t work out for me – the fritters wouldn’t hold shape and stuck to the pan no matter what i did. i ended up putting all of it in a loaf pan and putting it in the oven to cook the zucchini and carrots as much as the potato to avoid weird crunchies. i would rate this higher for flavor purposes except i felt like the cumin didn’t have a place here and immediately regretted putting it in. also, where’s the garlic powder girl ?! lol

      These instructions are a little vague. Doesn’t say how high the heat should be to cook. Also probably should’ve said to try and drain water from the zucchini. I Thought this would Be a great dinner but it turned out to be a sloppy and frustrating mess!

        Hi Hayli! I will update the instructions for the heat but it should be medium to medium hot. Also, fritters are inherently messy! They are not perfect and that’s what I like about them. I did not include to drain water from zucchini because I think it’s an unnecessary step and I didn’t have the time but if you want to drain the water then go for it. Hope this helps and I’m sorry if you were disappointed.

          Hi Shannon, thanks for sharing lovely recipes. One comment, though, about the time. You say total time to make this is 30 minutes. Yet, in the first step alone, you’re asking us to boil the potatoes for 20-25 minutes. This is quite common among food bloggers and I don’t understand why. It’s quite annoying when you have taken the blogger’s info for granted, planned accordingly and then find yourself needing quite a bit of additional time. It would be great if you could state exact total times, it would be extremely useful to us. Thanks

            Hi Marco. I totally understand what you mean. The idea is while you are boiling the potatoes you do the other steps to save time. I’m all about efficiency!

      Did you need to drain any water from the shredded carrot &/or zucchini?

        Hi Danielle! You do not have to! I believe it’s an unnecessary step for this recipe but if you want to take the time then go for it!

    HANDLE NAME CHANGE!! I’ve been wanting to do th HANDLE NAME CHANGE!!

I’ve been wanting to do this for a while as a fresh start with all the changes to my “brand” in the last year. It feels right to just use my name 😀 (fun fact: I haven’t taken my hubbys last name yet because of business paperwork that I’m too lazy to figure out 😅 name changes are complicated) 

@theglowingfridge started out of my love for the plant based lifestyle but so much has changed in the last 9 years and I’ve been itching to update. Nothing else will change and my blog will still remain as is, if you still use my recipes and such. Love you all and thank you for supporting me through all these changes 🤍🤍🤍

When my blood sugar is on a nasty rollercoaster, I’m not the best mama that I know I should be for my girl. I’m more irritable and short. So I prioritize protein, healthy fats and carbs at each meal. This helps me feel balanced and provides energy to play and chase after her all day! I need all the fuel I can get.

    I don’t get ready everyday… But when I do I f I don’t get ready everyday…

But when I do I feel better, duh! And more confident. More productive. Happier in general. Of course I have super lazy days but I try to get myself together because I’m more likely to leave the house, you know mamas? I hate when people ask “why do you get ready if you’re home all day”.. 

I’m sharing different content like this because I feel like it and don’t want to be stuck in a box 😀

It should be organic, mold-free, tested for mycotoxins and taste delicious, etc. King coffee goes a step further with a therapeutic dose of reishi spores, the most powerful and potent part of reishi mushroom! Most other companies use the lucidum part of reishi, in case you’re wondering 👑

    passes & smashes for gut healing ❤️‍🩹 I passes & smashes for gut healing ❤️‍🩹

I have many more passes too.. extreme diets, too many supplements, gluten, juice cleanses, eating too fast and not chewing enough.. the list goes on!

Gut healing takes a multi-faceted approach and it’s never just one supplement to heal or one thing to do.

It takes time, patience and grace! And working alongside a practitioner you feel called to 🙏🏼
