Keto Low Carb Zucchini Fritters
Ingredients:
- 3 medium zucchinis, shredded
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 large eggs
- 1/4 cup crumbled feta cheese (or grated parmesan)
- 1/4 cup shredded mozzarella or your preferred cheese
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 scallions (green onions), finely chopped
- 1/4 cup parsley, finely chopped (or herbs of choice)
- 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon chili powder
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder (adjust to taste)
- 1/2 cup almond flour
- 1 tablespoon oil for frying
- Instructions:
In a sizable bowl, combine the shredded zucchini and salt. Allow it to sit for 10 minutes. Afterward, drain excess water from the zucchini by squeezing it with your hand and discard the water.
- In another bowl, whisk together the eggs, shredded zucchini, crumbled feta, garlic, scallions, black pepper, chili powder, and garlic powder. Stir in almond flour until fully combined.
- Pan Frying: Preheat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add 1 tablespoon oil. Using an ice cream scoop or large spoon, scoop batter into the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes per side until golden crispy and cooked through. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate and repeat the process.
- Baking: Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line 2 large baking sheets with parchment paper and spray with cooking spray. Scoop batter onto the prepared baking sheets and flatten. Spray the top with more cooking spray. Bake for 20 minutes, flipping halfway through.
- Air Frying: Preheat Air Fryer to 375°F (190°C). 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.
- Serving: Garnish with lemon wedges and fresh chopped herbs. Serve with cold yogurt, sour cream, tzatziki, or your favorite dip.
Notes:
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days or freeze for up to 3 months.
To reheat, warm in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for 10-15 minutes or until heated through.
