Ingredients
- 2 medium zucchinis, grated (about 2 cups) (454 grams)
- 1/2 teaspoon salt (2.5 grams)
- 1/4 cup almond flour (28 grams)
- 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese (10 grams)
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder (1 gram)
- 1/4 teaspoon onion powder (0.5 grams)
- 1/4 teaspoon dried basil (0.5 grams)
- 1/4 teaspoon dried oregano (0.5 grams)
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper (0.5 grams)
- 1 large egg, beaten
- 2 tablespoons olive oil (30 milliliters), for frying
Cooking Instructions
- Place the grated zucchini in a colander and sprinkle with salt. Let it sit for 10 minutes to draw out excess moisture. After 10 minutes, squeeze out as much liquid as possible from the zucchini using a clean kitchen towel or your hands. This step is important to prevent the fritters from becoming soggy.
- In a large bowl, combine the grated zucchini, almond flour, Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, dried basil, dried oregano, black pepper, and beaten egg. Mix well until all the ingredients are evenly incorporated.
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
- Scoop about 1/4 cup of the zucchini mixture and drop it into the skillet. Flatten it slightly with a spatula to form a fritter. Repeat with the remaining mixture, leaving some space between each fritter in the skillet.
- Cook the fritters for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy. You may need to adjust the heat to prevent burning.
- Once cooked, transfer the fritters to a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.
- Serve the Keto Zucchini Fritters warm as a snack or side dish. They are delicious on their own or served with a dollop of sour cream or a side of marinara sauce.
