Ingredients

• 3 medium zucchini
• 2 large egg
• 0.5 cup almond flour
• 2 tablespoons arrowroot powder
• 2 stalks green onion
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 0.75 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 tablespoons avocado oil

Directions

Step 1

Grate the zucchinis using a box grater or food processor with a shredding attachment. Place the grated zucchini into a colander or clean kitchen towel.

Step 2

Sprinkle 1/2 teaspoon of salt over the zucchini, toss to combine, and let it sit for 10 minutes to draw out excess moisture.

Step 3

After 10 minutes, squeeze the grated zucchini tightly using the kitchen towel or hands to remove as much liquid as possible. Discard the liquid.

Step 4

In a mixing bowl, combine the drained zucchini, eggs, almond flour, arrowroot powder, finely chopped green onion, parsley, garlic powder, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and black pepper. Mix until well combined.

Step 5

Heat a large, nonstick skillet over medium heat and add 1 tablespoon of avocado oil.

Step 6

Scoop approximately 2 heaping tablespoons of the zucchini mixture into the skillet for each fritter. Use the back of a spoon to flatten them slightly into rounds.

Step 7

Cook the fritters for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy. Adjust the heat as needed to prevent burning.

Step 8

Transfer the cooked fritters to a paper towel-lined plate and repeat with the remaining zucchini mixture, adding additional avocado oil to the skillet as needed.

Step 9

Serve the zucchini fritters warm and enjoy as a snack, side dish, or light meal!
