Ingredients
- 2 medium-sized Golden zucchini
- 0.5 cup Almond flour
- 2 large Eggs
- 0.25 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- 2 tablespoons Green onions, chopped
- 1 clove Garlic, minced
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 0.5 cup Sour cream or plain Greek yogurt
Directions
Step 1
Grate the golden zucchinis using a box grater or a food processor.
Step 2
Place the grated zucchini in a clean kitchen towel or cheesecloth and squeeze out as much liquid as possible. This will help the fritters hold together and crisp up nicely.
Step 3
In a mixing bowl, combine the squeezed zucchini, almond flour, eggs, grated Parmesan cheese, chopped green onions, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper. Stir until well combined.
Step 4
Heat olive oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat.
Step 5
Scoop about 2 tablespoons of the zucchini mixture and shape it into a small patty with your hands or a spoon. Place the patty into the skillet.
Step 6
Repeat with the remaining mixture, allowing space between each fritter in the skillet.
Step 7
Cook the fritters for about 3-4 minutes on each side or until golden brown and cooked through.
Step 8
Once cooked, transfer the fritters to a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.
Step 9
Serve the fritters warm with a side of sour cream or plain Greek yogurt for dipping.
