Ingredients

• 2 medium Zucchini
• 100 grams All-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon Baking powder
• 3 large Egg whites
• 75 milliliters Skim milk
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Ground black pepper
• 1 as needed Olive oil spray
• 2 tablespoons Chopped fresh parsley

Directions

Step 1

Grate the zucchinis using a coarse grater. Place the grated zucchini in a clean kitchen towel and squeeze out as much liquid as possible. This helps the beignets to be crisp without being soggy.

Step 2

In a large bowl, mix the flour and baking powder together.

Step 3

In a separate bowl, whisk the egg whites until frothy. Add the skim milk, salt, and ground black pepper, and mix until combined.

Step 4

Add the liquid mixture to the dry ingredients, stirring until just smooth.

Step 5

Fold in the grated zucchini and chopped parsley into the batter until evenly distributed.

Step 6

Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and lightly spray with olive oil spray.

Step 7

Drop spoonfuls of the batter into the skillet, flattening them slightly with the back of the spoon. Cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until the beignets are golden brown and cooked through.

Step 8

Remove from the skillet and drain on a paper towel to remove any excess oil.

Step 9

Serve the low-fat beignets de courgettes warm, garnished with extra parsley if desired.
