Crisp and Delicious Vegan Sesame Zucchini Fritters Recipe (Gluten-Free)
- Preheat your oven to 425°F and lightly coat a baking sheet with oil, or use parchment paper for effortless cleanup.
- Combine onion, garlic, parsley, and zucchini in a food processor; pulse until the mixture is uniformly chopped.
- Combine the vegetables in a large bowl and incorporate all the dry ingredients, including baking powder, through flax meal. Stir well.
- Wet your hands slightly, as the mixture may become tacky, and shape into small, golf-ball-sized portions. Evenly spaced across the baking sheet, the treats are arranged, their tops generously garnished with a liberal sprinkling of sesame seeds.
- Preheat the oven to its highest temperature setting. Bake for 10 minutes, then carefully remove the batch from the oven and gently turn them over. Return the treats to the oven and continue baking for an additional 10 minutes or until they’re perfectly toasted and a beautiful golden brown. Please ensure you adjust cooking time according to your oven’s specifications; check on the dish after approximately 8 minutes of cooking.
