To shred your zucchini you can use a food processor or
grater. Make sure you remove the ends beforehand.
Put shredded zucchini in a strainer either in the sink or
resting above a large bowl. Sprinkle with salt, toss, and
let sit for 10 minutes. This will take out the extra moisture
from the zucchini and allow them to crisp up better when
cooking. After 10 minutes, wrap zucchini in paper towel
and wring out the excess water with a twisting motion.
Place zucchini in a bowl and add scallions, garlic, lemon
juice, egg, rice four, parsley, and salt and pepper. Mix
together. Heat half the coconut oil in a sauce pan. When
melted and pan is hot, spoon in a 3” wide size of the
zucchini mixture. Flatten down with the back of a spoon.
Let cook until it is nicely browned on one side then flip
like a pancake. Continue to brown on the opposite side.
Plate and serve with the dipping sauce. For dipping
sauce, combine all ingredients, mix and put into a dipping
dish.
TIPS:
To keep the zucchini fritters warm while cooking all the mixture, line an oven safe dish with tin foil, spray with a non-stick spray and layer the
fritters. Close the foil around everything and place in an oven that is at 200 degrees.
Make a large batch of these tasty treats, freeze the extra in ziploc bags and pop in a toaster oven to reheat and eat on the go or in the
office for a snack.

Remove chilled plate from the freezer- cover with tin foil if you wish.
With a fork or fingers, remove each berry and place onto plate. Make sure that the berries are not touching and are in a single layer. Place
plate back in the freezer and chill. Enjoy when frozen!
