Even though this is a very simple dish, I absolutely love it! It’s super quick to make and works great as an appetizer or a main course. They stay soft and moist inside with crispy edges.

Steps

10 min prep + baking

1

First, wash and trim the zucchini, then grate it using a box grater with large holes.
2

Make the batter: Beat the egg with salt, pepper, grated Parmesan, rice milk, chopped leek, and chopped parsley. Add the grated zucchini, then mix in the rice flour.
3

You should have a thick batter. Adjust salt if needed.
4

Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Spoon 1 or 2 tablespoons of the mixture at a time onto the sheet to form small rounds, depending on the size you want.
5

Drizzle a little olive oil over the fritters and bake in a convection oven at 350°F (180°C) for 30 minutes. If they start to brown too much, switch to regular bake mode for the last few minutes.
6

Remove from the oven and serve right away. They’re also delicious at room temperature. I served them with a Greek yogurt and herb sauce.
