• 1 tbsp ground flax seeds
• A pinch of turmeric
• ½ tsp salt
• 1 tsp paprika
• 2 tbsp chopped cilantro or parsley
• 1–2 tbsp cooking oil

Instructions

Step 1

Grate the zucchini and place it in a large mixing bowl.

Step 2

Add the quinoa (or sorghum) flour, water, ground flax seeds, turmeric, salt, paprika, and chopped cilantro or parsley. Mix until a semi-thick dough forms.

Step 3

Shape the mixture into patties or cakes about 1 inch thick.

Step 4

Heat a nonstick skillet with a small amount of cooking oil over medium heat.

Step 5

Cook the patties for 3–4 minutes on each side until golden brown. Alternatively, air fry them at 350°F (175°C) for 5–6 minutes, flipping halfway through cooking.

Step 6

Serve the patties warm with your favorite dipping sauce. Crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, these zucchini cakes are packed with wholesome plant-based goodness.
