Ingredients
- 2 medium Zucchini
- 0.5 cup Almond flour
- 2 large Eggs
- 0.25 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
Directions
Step 1
Start by washing the zucchinis thoroughly and patting them dry with a clean towel.
Step 2
Grate the zucchinis using a box grater or food processor, then place the grated zucchini in a fine mesh or cheesecloth and squeeze out as much excess moisture as possible. This step is crucial for ensuring the beignets don’t become soggy.
Step 3
In a large mixing bowl, combine the grated zucchini, almond flour, eggs, grated Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until all ingredients are combined and a uniform batter forms.
Step 4
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. To test if the oil is hot enough, add a small drop of batter; it should sizzle upon contact.
Step 5
Scoop about 2 tablespoons of the batter into the hot skillet for each beignet. Flatten them slightly with the back of a spoon to ensure even cooking.
Step 6
Cook each beignet for about 3-4 minutes per side, or until golden brown and crispy on the outside.
Step 7
Use a slotted spatula to remove the beignets from the skillet and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to absorb any excess oil.
Step 8
Serve immediately while hot and crispy. Enjoy as is, or top with a dollop of sour cream or a sprinkle of fresh herbs, if desired.
