Ingredients

• 2 medium Zucchini
• 2 large Eggs
• 0.5 cup Almond Flour
• 0.25 cup Parmesan Cheese
• 0.5 teaspoon Garlic Powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Onion Powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black Pepper
• 2 tablespoons Olive Oil

Directions

Step 1

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.

Step 2

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.

Step 3

Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat.

Step 4

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.

Step 5

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.

Step 6

Remove the cooked fritters from the skillet and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.

Step 7

Repeat the process with the remaining zucchini mixture, adding more olive oil to the skillet as needed.

Step 8

Serve the zucchini fritters warm, alone or with your favorite low-carb dipping sauce or yogurt.
