Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 medium Zucchini
- 0.5 head Cauliflower
- 1 large Carrot
- 0.5 Red bell pepper
- 3 stalks Green onions
- 2 Large eggs
- 0.5 cup Almond flour
- 0.25 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
Instructions
Begin by preparing the vegetables. Grate the zucchini and carrot using a box grater, and finely chop the cauliflower into small pieces or pulse in a food processor until it resembles rice.
Place the grated zucchini in a clean kitchen towel and squeeze out as much excess moisture as possible. This step is crucial to ensure crispy fritters.
Finely dice the red bell pepper and green onions.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the prepared zucchini, cauliflower, carrot, red bell pepper, and green onions.
In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs until well combined, then add them to the vegetable mixture.
Add almond flour, grated Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and ground black pepper to the mixture.
Mix thoroughly until all ingredients are well incorporated and the mixture holds together.
Heat olive oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat.
Scoop about 1/4 cup of the vegetable mixture and form it into a patty. Place it in the hot skillet. Repeat with the remaining mixture, cooking in batches if necessary.
Cook each fritter for 3-4 minutes per side or until golden brown and crispy.
Remove from the skillet and place on a paper towel-lined plate to absorb any excess oil.
Serve the fritters warm as a delicious low-carb snack or a side dish.
