Ingredients

• 3 medium-sized zucchini
• 2 large eggs
• 2 tablespoons coconut flour
• 2 tablespoons almond flour
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• 0.75 teaspoon sea salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 3 tablespoons coconut oil

Directions

Step 1

Grate the zucchini using a box grater or food processor and transfer it to a large mixing bowl.

Step 2

Sprinkle a pinch of salt over the grated zucchini and let it sit for 5-10 minutes to draw out excess moisture.

Step 3

Using a clean kitchen towel or cheesecloth, wrap the salted zucchini and squeeze out as much water as possible. This step is crucial to achieving crispy fritters.

Step 4

In the same bowl, combine the squeezed zucchini with the eggs, coconut flour, almond flour, garlic powder, onion powder, sea salt, and black pepper. Mix thoroughly until a batter forms.

Step 5

Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add 1-2 tablespoons of coconut oil.

Step 6

Scoop about 2 tablespoons of batter per fritter into the skillet, flattening each into a small patty with the back of a spoon.

Step 7

Cook the fritters for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Work in batches, adding more coconut oil as needed.

Step 8

Transfer cooked fritters to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.

Step 9

Serve warm as-is or with your favorite Paleo-friendly dipping sauce. Enjoy!
