Zucchini Fritters

Didn't have any Parmesan or scallions so used cheddar & onion powder - would add chopped onion next time.

Makes 4
Net Carbs 3 / Calories 81


2 small-med zucchini (250 g)
1/2 tsp salt
1 Egg
Chopped scallions (20 g)
Black Pepper
1/4 tsp Baking Powder
1/4 cup Almond Flour
1 Tbsp Coconut Flour
15 g Parmesan Cheese
Oil of Choice for frying

1.         Grate the zucchini on a box grater or in a food processor. Put the zucchini in a colander and sprinkle with the teaspoon of salt. Mix the zucchini gently to distribute the salt and let it sit for about 5 minutes. Squeeze the zucchini out with your hands and place into a medium sized mixing bowl.

2.        Add the eggs and scallion to the zucchini and mix together. In a small bowl, add the rest of the dry ingredients and stir together. Add the zucchini and mix thoroughly. Use an ice cream scoop to help form patties of the mix. 

3.        It helps to freeze them for 30 minutes before frying.

4.        Heat a medium to large pan over medium - high heat. Dump the patties into the pan and cook for three minutes adjusting the heat up or down as needed, then flip, cooking for another three minutes. Add more oil to the pan as needed to prevent sticking.

5.        Drain the zucchini fritters on a paper towel before serving
