Slightly crisp and totally delicious, these zucchini fritters are the perfect home for that extra zucchini at this time of year! Be sure to use the chickpea flour to make them gluten free. Leave out the egg and reduce the flour to 1/3 cup to make them vegan!
Place the grated zucchini in a fine sieve, mix in the salt, and let sit for approximately 30 minutes, pressing down on the zucchini and turning it over periodically to remove as much moisture as possible.
Using a cheese cloth or clean dish towel gently squeeze out the zucchini. In a large mixing bowl mix together the grated zucchini, eggs, flour, chives, garlic, cornstarch, salt and pepper. Stir until completely combined.
Heat a medium frying pan over medium heat with about 1/2" of oil. When the oil is hot add approximatley 1 tablespoon of the zucchini mixture to the pan and let cook 2-4 minutes each side or until golden brown. Place the fritters on a paper towel when done cooking and serve!
