PREPARATION
Preparing the Batter
1.
Shred the zucchini and place in a fine mesh strainer. Sprinkle with 1/2 tsp salt and set aside to drain. In a medium bowl, beat together the eggs, chickpea flour, scallion, mint, and remaining 1/2 tsp salt.
2.
Gently squeeze the zucchini to drain as much liquid as possible before adding to the egg mixture. Stir into egg mixture and mix well.
Preparing the Patties
3.
Place a large skillet over medium-high heat.
4.
When the pan is hot, add the olive oil.
5.
Drop the zucchini mixture by spoonfuls into the pan and gently flatten the balls with the back of a spatula.
6.
Cook for 2-3 minutes, or until golden brown. Flip and cook for ~2 minutes more on the other side.
For Paleo, use coconut flour instead of chickpea flour.
3.
For a vegan version, use 1 tbsp ground flaxseed combined with 3 tbsp water for each egg. Let sit 15 minutes in the refrigerator or until it becomes gelatinous.
