Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 medium, grated Zucchini
- 1 medium, grated Carrot
- 1 cup, finely chopped Broccoli florets
- 3 stalks, finely chopped Green onion
- 2 large Eggs
- 1 cup Almond flour
- 0.5 cup, grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
Instructions
Place the grated zucchini in a clean kitchen towel or paper towels. Squeeze tightly to remove as much moisture as possible.
In a large bowl, combine squeezed zucchini, grated carrot, chopped broccoli, and green onion.
In a separate small bowl, whisk the eggs and then add to the vegetable mixture.
Add almond flour, Parmesan cheese, salt, pepper, and garlic powder to the vegetable and egg mixture, and mix well until fully combined.
Heat olive oil in a large non-stick frying pan over medium heat.
Scoop approximately 2 tablespoons of the mixture for each fritter and place them in the frying pan, flattening them slightly with the back of a spoon.
Cook the fritters on one side for about 3-4 minutes or until golden brown and crisp. Flip and cook the other side until golden brown and cooked through, about 3-4 more minutes.
Remove fritters from the pan and drain on paper towels to remove excess oil.
Serve warm as a side dish or as a snack, optionally with a dollop of sour cream or plain Greek yogurt on the side.
