Instructions
- Prepare quinoa — 2/3 cup uncooked quinoa will yield ~2 cups cooked.⅔ cups quinoa
- Shred zucchini using either the coarse side of a box grater or the grater attachment of a food processor. Measure out amount. Then transfer to a clean towel and squeeze out excess moisture. Set aside.2 cups zucchini
- Heat a large pot or rimmed skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add oil (or water), onion, and garlic. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper.

- Prepare chickpea “eggs” by combining chickpea flour and water in a small bowl. Stir to combine. It should be a runny paste. Adjust texture as needed. Set aside.⅓ cup Chickpea Flour, ¼ cup water
- To a large mixing bowl add sautéed vegetables, cooked and cooled quinoa, salt, and fresh dill and stir. Then add chickpea mixture and stir. Lastly, add gluten-free flour and stir until combined.

- Form into thin (roughly 1/4-inch-thick) patties the size of the palm of your hand. In the meantime, heat a large rimmed skillet over medium heat (we prefer cast iron).
- Once hot, add a little oil to coat the pan and enough fritters to comfortably fit without crowding. Pan fry until golden brown, 4 minutes on each side.
- Optional: For even crispier fritters, continue baking in a 204° oven for 10-15 minutes.

- Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator up to 3-4 days, or in the freezer up to 1 month. Reheat on the stovetop over medium heat, in a 180° oven, or in the microwave until hot. If frozen, thaw before reheating.
