Zucchini Fritters

Grate 2 zucchini and squeeze as much water out as you can. I let it drain in a colander while I worked on some other things.
Once drained, add egg replacer for 1 egg (mixed with appropriate amount of water), salt, pepper, and 1/2 c. flour.

Spoon fritters into a non-stick skillet and cook until nice and brown and a little crispy. I think you could use corn to do this too.

Black Bean Patties

1 15-ounce can low-sodium black beans, drained
1/2 cup dry breadcrumbs
1/3 cup finely chopped onion
1/3 cup no-salt-added tomato sauce
1 tsp cumin
2 tbsp chopped cilantro

Preparation:

Preheat oven to 400 degrees, and coat a baking sheet with nonstick cooking spray. In a medium bowl, mash black beans with a fork or potato masher. Add breadcrumbs, onion, tomato sauce, cumin and cilantro. Blend with a fork. Form into 4 patties.

Bake for 15 minutes. Remove carefully with a spatula

I actually browned these in a non-stick skillet on the stove and served with ketchup. They are really good but would be very squishy on a bun. I believe you could also bake this like a meatloaf.

Baba Ganoush

1 whole eggplant
3 cloves of garlic
1/2 tsp lemon or lime juice
1/4 tsp cumin
1/2 tsp parsley

Lay the eggplant on a baking sheet and bake at 400 degrees for about an hour until it caves in. Wrap the garlic in foil and bake it at the same time. It will only take about 30 minutes for the garlic.

Once the eggplant cools, split the skin and scoop out all the insides into a food processor. Add the garlic and rest of the ingredients and process until mostly smooth. Salt to taste.
