Wash and grate the zucchini and carrots into a large mixing bowl using a box grater.
Place the grated zucchini in a clean kitchen towel and squeeze out as much excess liquid as possible. This will help ensure your fritters are not soggy.
Dice the red bell pepper finely and chop the green onions and parsley. Add them to the bowl with the dried zucchini and grated carrots.
In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs until frothy. Add the almond flour, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper to the eggs and mix well to create a batter.
Pour the batter over the vegetable mixture and stir until all the ingredients are well combined.
Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the coconut oil.
Once the oil is hot, scoop 2-tablespoon portions of the vegetable mixture into the pan, flattening each slightly into a fritter shape with the back of a spoon. Fry them in batches, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan.
Cook each fritter for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through.
Transfer cooked fritters to a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.
Garnish with freshly chopped parsley and serve warm.
