Ingredients

• 1 cup almond flour
• 1 cup grated zucchini
• 0.5 cup grated carrot
• 0.75 cup shredded cheddar cheese
• 2 large eggs
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
• 0.5 teaspoon onion powder
• 0.25 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 as needed olive oil spray

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and lightly spray it with olive oil.

Step 2

Place the grated zucchini in a clean kitchen towel or cheesecloth and squeeze out as much liquid as possible to prevent soggy puffs.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, combine almond flour, baking powder, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix well.

Step 4

Add the squeezed zucchini, grated carrot, shredded cheddar cheese, and eggs to the bowl. Stir until all ingredients are evenly combined into a thick batter.

Step 5

Using a tablespoon or small cookie scoop, portion out the batter and place it onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing each portion about 1 inch apart.

Step 6

Gently shape each portion into small mounds or rounds to ensure even baking.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the veggie puffs are golden brown and firm to the touch.

Step 8

Remove from the oven and let them cool slightly on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a serving plate.

Step 9

Serve warm as a snack, appetizer, or side dish. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
