Guess what? I still have more zucchini to use up! I think this is the never ending supply this summer. Thank goodness I love it, but I wasn't sure what I was going to try next. While I was in FL last week, I had posted a restaurant review where I had tried Black Bean Cakes.

They were amazing but more on the spicy side served with guacamole, salsa and sour cream. I liked them so much I figured I'd give mine a little Mediterranean twist and throw in some of that zucchini too (Shhh..don't tell the kids, they'll never know!) and the Black Bean Zucchini Fritter was born.

Black beans and freshly grated zucchini combined with garlic, basil and lemon zest into a tasty fritter make a delicious side dish with any meal.

These fritters were to die for and I could make an entire meal out of them alone! By using the self rising flour they puffed up like a cake but were light and fluffy, not dense like a regular black bean cake and the lemon and basil gave them such a fresh taste. ~Enjoy!

    Great sounding recipe. Do you know if it can be cooked in an air fryer? And if so how long?
    Thank you

      Hi Liza, I'm not sure I've never cooked anything in an air fryer. Sorry! If you try it, please let me know if it works!
