Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 2 medium zucchinis Grated
- 1 teaspoon salt For drawing out moisture from zucchini
- 0.25 cup almond flour Gluten-free alternative
- 0.25 cup grated Parmesan cheese Can be replaced with a dairy-free alternative
- 1 whole egg Binder for the fritters
- 2 stalks green onions, chopped
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- to taste black pepper For seasoning
- as needed olive oil for frying For cooking the fritters
Instructions
Preparation
- Grate the zucchinis using a box grater or food processor. Sprinkle salt over the zucchini and let it sit for about 10 minutes to draw out excess moisture.
- After 10 minutes, place the zucchini in a clean towel or cheesecloth. Twist it to squeeze out as much liquid as possible.
- In a large bowl, combine the drained zucchini, almond flour, grated Parmesan cheese, egg, chopped green onions, minced garlic, and black pepper. Mix well until fully combined.
- Heat olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Drop spoonfuls of the batter into the pan, flattening them slightly. Cook for 3-4 minutes on each side or until golden brown and crispy.
- Place the cooked fritters on a paper towel to absorb any excess oil before serving.
Notes
For a healthier version, bake the fritters in the oven at 400°F (200°C) for about 20 minutes, flipping halfway through. Serve with low-carb ranch or avocado dip. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days.
