Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 medium Zucchini
- 2 large Eggs
- 0.25 cup Almond flour
- 0.25 cup Grated Parmesan cheese
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil (for frying)
Instructions
Grate the zucchini using a box grater or food processor. Place the grated zucchini in a clean kitchen towel or cheesecloth and squeeze out as much water as possible. This step ensures the fritters remain crispy and not soggy during cooking.
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, whisk the eggs until well beaten.
Add the almond flour, grated Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper to the eggs. Stir to combine.
Fold the grated and drained zucchini into the egg mixture. Mix well until everything is evenly combined.
Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Once hot, scoop approximately 2 tablespoons of the zucchini mixture per fritter into the skillet, flattening each fritter slightly with the back of a spoon or spatula.
Cook the fritters for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy. Work in batches if necessary, adding the remaining tablespoon of olive oil as needed.
Transfer the cooked fritters to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
Serve the zucchini fritters warm, on their own or with a dollop of sour cream or Greek yogurt for dipping.
