Recipes, , , ,

If you have a “gotta try ’em all” approach to zucchini fritters, you have something in common with CSA member Margaret Sutherland, who shared this recipe for an almond-flour based fritter. She used garlic scapes instead of garlic cloves/powder, and one large-ish zucchini for her batch.

Low Carb Zucchini Fritters

Prep Time 10 minutes
Cook Time 5 minutes

Ingredients

  • 3 medium zucchini (shredded)
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/4 cup crumbled feta (or grated parmesan)
  • 1/4 cup shredded mozerella or your favortie cheese
  • 2 cloves garlic (minced)
  • 2 scallions (green onions, finely chopped)
  • 1/4 cup parsley (finely chopped), or herbs of choice
  • 1/4 tsp EACH of ground black pepper chili powder, garlic powder (or to taste)
  • 1/2 cup almond flour
  • 1 tablespoon oil (for frying)

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, combine the shredded zucchini and salt; set aside for 10 minutes. After ten minutes, drain water from the zucchini by squeezing it with your hand and discarding the water.
  2. In another bowl, whisk the eggs, shredded zucchini, crumbled feta, garlic, scallions, and black pepper. Stir in almond flour until fully combined.
  3. To Pan Fry: Preheat a large pan to medium-high heat. Add 1 tablespoon oil. Using an ice cream scoop or large spoon, scoop batter into the pan and cook 2-3 minutes per side until golden crispy and cooked through. Transfer to a paper towel-lined pan and repeat.
  4. To Bake: Preheat oven to 400 degrees F, line 2 large baking sheets with parchment paper and spray with cooking spray. Scoop batter onto a sheet pan and flatten. Spray top with more cooking spray. Bake for 20 minutes, flipping halfway through.
  5. To Air fry: Preheat Air Fryer to 375F. Place the fritters on the preheated Air Fryer mesh in a single layer. Spray with cooking spray or brush with oil. Cook for 8 minutes. Turn the fritters and cook for another 4-5 minutes or until crispy and golden.
  6. To serve: Garnish with lemon wedges and fresh chopped herbs. Serve with cold yogurt, sour cream, tzatziki, or your favorite dip.
