Grate the golden zucchinis using a box grater or a food processor.
Place the grated zucchini in a clean kitchen towel or cheesecloth and squeeze out as much liquid as possible. This will help the fritters hold together and crisp up nicely.
In a mixing bowl, combine the squeezed zucchini, almond flour, eggs, grated Parmesan cheese, chopped green onions, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper. Stir until well combined.
Heat olive oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat.
Scoop about 2 tablespoons of the zucchini mixture and shape it into a small patty with your hands or a spoon. Place the patty into the skillet.
Repeat with the remaining mixture, allowing space between each fritter in the skillet.
Cook the fritters for about 3-4 minutes on each side or until golden brown and cooked through.
Once cooked, transfer the fritters to a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.
Serve the fritters warm with a side of sour cream or plain Greek yogurt for dipping.
