Equipment

  • skillet or frying pan

Ingredients
  

  • 1 medium-sized zucchinis
  • 1/2 cup almond flour
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon Mrs Dash

Instructions
 

  • Prepare the Zucchini:
  • Wash and trim the ends of the zucchinis.
  • Grate the zucchini using a box grater or a food processor.
  • Place the grated zucchini in a clean kitchen towel and squeeze out the excess moisture. This step is crucial to prevent the fritters from becoming soggy.
  • Mix the Ingredients:
  • In a mixing bowl, combine the grated zucchini, almond flour, beaten eggs, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
  • Mix the ingredients well until a batter forms. The almond flour will help bind the fritters together.
  • Forming the Fritters:
  • Heat a skillet or frying pan over medium heat and add a couple of tablespoons of oil.
  • Once the oil is hot, spoon the zucchini batter into the pan, forming small fritters. Flatten them slightly with the back of the spoon.
  • Cooking:
  • Cook the fritters for 2-3 minutes on each side or until they are golden brown and cooked through. Be gentle when flipping them to avoid breaking.
  • Draining Excess Oil:
  • Place the cooked fritters on a plate lined with paper towels to absorb any excess oil.

Notes

Experiment with additional seasonings, such as chopped herbs (parsley, dill, or cilantro) or a pinch of cayenne pepper for extra flavor.
For a crispier texture, you can also bake the fritters in the oven. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and bake for about 15-20 minutes or until golden brown.
