Zucchini Fritters and a Trio of Sauces

Slightly adapted from recipe on

Zucchini fritters are fast and easy to make. A great day to sneak some veggies into your diet! Ranch dip is always a great accompaniment, but this recipe has 3 more sauce alternatives.

Ingredients

fritters

1-½ Cup flour
1 Teaspoon baking powder
½ Teaspoon chili powder
½ Teaspoon salt
¼ Teaspoon pepper
3 Cups shredded zucchini (You can substitute cauliflower for the zucchini, if you want.)
¼ Cup onions (finely chopped)
2 eggs
* * *

chili lime mayo

1 Cup mayo
juice from ½ lime
½ Teaspoon chili powder

chili garlic mayo

1 Cup mayo

creamy chili-lime sauce

¼ Cup white wine
¼ Cup fresh lime juice
1 Tablespoon ginger (minced)
⅓ Cup heavy cream
2 Tablespoons chili-garlic sauce
2 Tablespoons unsalted butter

Note

The recipe for fritters and chili-lime sauce was slightly adapted from Family Feedbag. The recipe for the creamy chili-lime sauce was adapted from one I found on Epicurious.com. The garlic-chili mayo is just a really simple dipping sauce that Jeff and I have been making for years.
