Healthy Not Fried Zucchini Fritters
Cooking & Baking Supplies
- Lodge Cast Iron Skillet
Ingredients
- 2 cups grated zucchini
- 1/4 cup almond flour
- 1 egg
- 1 tbsp nutritional yeast
- 1/4 cup onion, chopped
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 2 tsp fresh parsley, chopped
- 1/2 tsp red chili flakes
- salt and pepper
- olive oil (for cooking the fritters)
Instructions
- Grate zucchini and place in a medium bowl. Add a sprinkle of salt and let sit for five minutes.
- Squeeze out water from zucchini with a dishcloth or paper towel to remove excess water (you will want to remove as much water as possible and might need to place zucchini in a strainer and press down to squeeze out additional water).
- In a medium mixing bowl, add the zucchini, almond flour, egg, nutritional yeast, onion, garlic powder, parsley, red chili flakes, and salt and pepper and mix well.
- In a medium pan or skillet over medium heat, cover the base of the pan about 1/4 high with oil and let oil heat up.
- Once oil is hot, add scoops of the zucchini mixture to the pan, about 3-4 tablespoons (you should be able to fit 2-3 fritters).
- Cook until both sides are brown on medium heat, about 4-5 minutes per side and transfer the cooked fritter to a paper towel lined plate to remove any excess oil.
- Repeat until the mixture is done and ENJOY! Top with hummus, sour cream, or eat plain!
