Zucchini Fritters

 

Zucchini Fritters 

Ingredients:

  • 2 medium zucchinis, grated
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup almond flour (or gluten-free flour)
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese (optional)
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon paprika (optional)
  • Coconut oil or olive oil for frying

Instructions:

  1. Prepare the zucchini: Grate the zucchinis and place them in a clean kitchen towel. Sprinkle with salt and let them sit for about 10-15 minutes to draw out excess moisture. After that, squeeze the zucchini to remove as much liquid as possible.

  2. Mix the ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the grated zucchini, almond flour, Parmesan cheese (if using), eggs, garlic, black pepper, onion powder, and paprika. Mix well until everything is combined.

  3. Heat the oil: In a large skillet, heat about 1-2 tablespoons of coconut oil or olive oil over medium heat.

  4. Cook the fritters: Drop spoonfuls of the zucchini mixture into the skillet, flattening them slightly with the back of a spatula. Cook for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy. You may need to add more oil in between batches.

  5. Drain and serve: Once cooked, transfer the fritters to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil. Serve warm with a dipping sauce of your choice, such as Greek yogurt or a simple marinara.
