Ingredients
  

Fritter Base Ingredients
  • 1 cup frozen edamame, defrosted Drain and rinse before using for a protein boost.
  • 2 large eggs Use organic if possible.
  • 1 medium zucchini, finely grated Squeeze out excess moisture for crispiness.
  • 1/2 cup ricotta cheese Fresh ricotta is recommended for creaminess.
  • 1/4 cup wholemeal self-raising flour Gluten-free blend can be used if needed.
  • 2 tablespoons fresh herbs of choice Basil, parsley, or cilantro work well.
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder Fresh minced garlic can also be used.
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt Adjust to taste.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a high-speed blender or small food processor, blend the defrosted edamame and eggs until mostly smooth but with some chunks for texture (about 30 seconds to 1 minute).
  2. Grate the zucchini and use a clean tea towel to squeeze out excess moisture.
  3. In a large bowl, combine the strained zucchini, edamame-egg mixture, ricotta, flour, garlic powder, and salt. Mix gently until well combined (about 1-2 minutes).
Cooking
  1. Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and lightly spray with oil.
  2. Scoop portions of the batter into the pan and flatten slightly. Cook for 1-2 minutes on each side until golden brown.
Serving
  1. Serve warm with your favorite dip or store in lunchboxes for snacks.

Notes

For a perfect golden-brown fritter, ensure the pan is hot enough and avoid overcrowding.
