Description
Delicious and crispy zucchini fritters made with fresh ingredients.
Ingredients
Scale
- 4 medium zucchini
- 1 tablespoon salt (divided)
- 4 scallions (thinly sliced)
- 2 large eggs (beaten)
- 1 cup almond flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 cup parmesan cheese (freshly grated)
- 2 tablespoons oil
Instructions
- Finely grate the zucchini into a mixing bowl. Add half the salt and set aside for 10 minutes.
- Squeeze out all the excess moisture from the zucchini. While you can just use your hands, I find that a clean dish towel removes it much better. The zucchini should now feel dry.
- Add the scallions, eggs, almond flour, baking powder, and parmesan cheese, and mix well.
- Add oil to a non-stick pan and place it over medium heat. Once hot, add spoonfuls of the batter to it, pressing down into a disc shape. Fry for 2-3 minutes per side, until golden and crispy. You’ll know they’re ready to flip when the edges look golden and the underside releases cleanly from the pan.
- Place the zucchini fritters on a wire rack to soak up excess oil.
Notes
- Using a clean dish towel to remove moisture will yield better results.
