Can I use gluten-free flour?

Yes, you can substitute many gluten-free flours and flour blends in this recipe. The flour acts as a binding agent so other flours will work just as well.

How long are zucchini pancakes good for? How do I reheat them?

Zucchini pancakes are best fresh but will stay good in the fridge for 2 to 3 days in an airtight container. It is not recommended to freeze these pancakes.

Zucchini pancakes/fritters can be reheated in the microwave, but for best results we recommend reheating them in a skillet on the stove. Heat 1-2 teaspoons of oil in a skillet over medium heat. Place the zucchini pancakes in the skillet and let them heat all the way through. This will provide the same crispy exterior as fresh zucchini fritters.

How do I grate my zucchini? How many zucchinis do I need for 1 cup of grated zucchini?

Use the large hole side of a cheese grater to grate zucchini for making zucchini fritters. Zucchinis vary in size. A good rule of thumb is that 1 zucchini will yield approximately 1 cup of grated zucchini.

PRO TIP: It’s a good idea to remove the excess moisture from grated zucchini. To do this simple pile your grated zucchini in a paper towel and wrap it up tightly to create a little ball. Give it a good squeeze over the sink to get any excess moisture out.
