Grate the zucchinis using a box grater, then place the grated zucchini in the center of a clean kitchen towel. Gather the edges of the towel and wring out as much water as possible from the zucchini. This step is crucial to ensure crispy fritters.
In a large bowl, combine the grated zucchini, eggs, almond flour, Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until the ingredients are fully incorporated.
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat.
Scoop about 2 tablespoons of the zucchini mixture and place it into the heated skillet. Flatten the mixture slightly with the back of a spoon to form a patty.
Cook the fritters for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy. Adjust the heat as necessary to avoid burning.
Remove the cooked fritters from the skillet and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.
Repeat the process with the remaining zucchini mixture, adding more olive oil to the skillet as needed.
Serve the zucchini fritters warm, alone or with your favorite low-carb dipping sauce or yogurt.
