Ingredients
- 2 medium zucchini
- 0.25 cup almond flour
- 0.25 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 large eggs
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
Directions
Step 1
Grate the zucchini using a coarse grater. Place the grated zucchini in a clean kitchen towel or cheesecloth and squeeze out as much moisture as possible. This step prevents the fritters from becoming soggy.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, combine the grated zucchini, almond flour, Parmesan cheese, eggs, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix until well combined and the mixture holds together easily.
Step 3
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
Step 4
Scoop about 2 tablespoons of the zucchini mixture at a time and gently form it into a small fritter or patty shape.
Step 5
Place the fritters in the skillet, making sure not to overcrowd the pan. Cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy.
Step 6
Once cooked, remove the fritters from the skillet and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
Step 7
Serve the fritters warm with your favorite keto-friendly dipping sauce, such as sour cream or ranch dressing, if desired.
