🍽️

Ingredients

  • 2 medium zucchini, grated
  • 1 teaspoon sea salt (for sweating zucchini)
  • 2 eggs
  • ¼ cup almond flour
  • 2 tablespoons coconut flour
  • 3 green onions, thinly sliced
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon avocado oil (for pan)
  • Plain Greek yogurt or coconut yogurt, for serving

Instructions

  1. 1

    Grate zucchini into a clean kitchen towel, sprinkle with sea salt, and let sit for 10 minutes.

  2. 2

    Wring out the towel firmly to remove as much liquid as possible — this step is essential.

  3. 3

    In a large bowl, combine drained zucchini, eggs, almond flour, coconut flour, green onions, garlic, and pepper. Mix well.

  4. 4

    Heat avocado oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat.

  5. 5

    Scoop about 3 tablespoons of batter per fritter and flatten slightly with a spatula.

  6. 6

    Cook for 3–4 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through.

  7. 7

    Serve with a dollop of yogurt and fresh herbs.

Chef's Note

Removing as much moisture from the zucchini as possible is the most important step — soggy fritters are caused by excess water.
