Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 medium Zucchini
- 1 small head Cauliflower
- 2 large Eggs
- 0.5 cup Almond flour
- 0.25 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- 3 stalks Green onions, chopped
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 cup Cooking oil (e.g., avocado oil)
Instructions
Grate the zucchini using a box grater and place it in a clean kitchen towel. Squeeze out as much moisture as possible and set aside.
Cut the cauliflower into small florets and pulse in a food processor until it resembles rice. Transfer to a mixing bowl.
Add the grated zucchini, eggs, almond flour, Parmesan cheese, chopped green onions, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper to the bowl with the cauliflower. Mix until well combined.
Heat the cooking oil in a large non-stick pan over medium-high heat.
Scoop about 3 tablespoons of the vegetable mixture and form into a patty with your hands. Place in the hot oil and press down slightly to flatten.
Fry the fritters for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy.
Remove from the pan and drain on paper towels to remove excess oil.
Repeat the frying process with the remaining mixture, adding more oil to the pan as needed.
Serve the fritters warm as a side dish or appetizer.
