The secret to the “spicy” element lies in the perfect balance of red pepper flakes, a pinch of cayenne pepper (optional, for extra heat!), and a generous dose of freshly ground black pepper. Feel free to adjust the amount of spice to your liking. Adding fresh herbs like cilantro, parsley, or dill elevates the flavor profile even further.
These Spicy Vegan Zucchini Fritters are incredibly easy to make. Simply grate the zucchini, remove excess moisture, combine it with the other ingredients, and pan-fry until golden brown and crispy. Serve them with your favorite dipping sauce, such as a creamy vegan aioli, a tangy yogurt dip, or a spicy sriracha mayo.
