Recipe Notes
Squeeze as much moisture as possible from the grated zucchini and potatoes before mixing the batter. This helps create beautifully crispy fritters. Cook the fritters in small batches so the oil stays hot and each fritter browns evenly. Serve with dairy-free yogurt, garlic aioli, sweet chili sauce, or your favorite dipping sauce. Leftover fritters become crispy again after a few minutes in the oven or air fryer.Wine Advice

How To Make Vegan Fritters
First, combine all the vegetables with the flour, yogurt, milk, oil, and seasonings until a thick batter forms. Next, heat a shallow layer of oil in a frying pan before spooning portions of the mixture into the hot oil. Then cook each fritter until both sides turn beautifully golden and crispy. Finally, drain them briefly on paper towels before serving. For even better results, avoid overcrowding the pan and cook the fritters in batches so each one browns evenly.
Serving Vegetable Fritters
Serve these vegetable fritters with dairy-free yogurt, garlic aioli, sweet chili sauce, or a fresh herb dip. They also pair perfectly with crisp salads, grilled vegetables, soups, or roasted tomatoes. For a more substantial meal, serve them alongside roasted mushrooms or a colorful grain salad.
Storage Tips
Store leftover fritters in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days. Reheat them in an oven or air fryer to restore their crispy texture. Although they can be reheated in a microwave, the exterior will become softer. For additional food safety guidance, visit the FDA Food Safety website.
