Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 medium zucchini
- 2 large egg
- 0.5 cup almond flour
- 2 tablespoons arrowroot powder
- 2 stalks green onion
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.75 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons avocado oil
Instructions
Grate the zucchinis using a box grater or food processor with a shredding attachment. Place the grated zucchini into a colander or clean kitchen towel.
Sprinkle 1/2 teaspoon of salt over the zucchini, toss to combine, and let it sit for 10 minutes to draw out excess moisture.
After 10 minutes, squeeze the grated zucchini tightly using the kitchen towel or hands to remove as much liquid as possible. Discard the liquid.
In a mixing bowl, combine the drained zucchini, eggs, almond flour, arrowroot powder, finely chopped green onion, parsley, garlic powder, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and black pepper. Mix until well combined.
Heat a large, nonstick skillet over medium heat and add 1 tablespoon of avocado oil.
Scoop approximately 2 heaping tablespoons of the zucchini mixture into the skillet for each fritter. Use the back of a spoon to flatten them slightly into rounds.
Cook the fritters for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy. Adjust the heat as needed to prevent burning.
Transfer the cooked fritters to a paper towel-lined plate and repeat with the remaining zucchini mixture, adding additional avocado oil to the skillet as needed.
Serve the zucchini fritters warm and enjoy as a snack, side dish, or light meal!
