Let’s dive into the recipe for these mouthwatering Keto Zucchini Fritters.
Ingredients:
- 2 medium zucchinis, grated
- 2 large eggs
- 1/4 cup almond flour
- 1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese (or mozzarella for a milder flavor)
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder (optional)
- 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano or Italian seasoning
- 2 tablespoons olive oil or coconut oil for frying
- Sour cream or keto-friendly dipping sauce for serving (optional)
Instructions:
- Prepare the zucchini:
- Grate the zucchinis using a box grater or food processor. Place the grated zucchini in a clean kitchen towel or cheesecloth and squeeze out as much liquid as possible. This step is crucial to ensure the fritters stay crispy and don’t fall apart.
- Mix the fritter batter:
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the grated zucchini, eggs, almond flour, parmesan cheese, minced garlic, salt, pepper, and optional seasonings like onion powder and oregano. Stir until everything is well mixed.
- Form the fritters:
- Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the olive oil or coconut oil for frying.
- Scoop about 2 tablespoons of the zucchini mixture and form it into a small patty. Gently place it in the hot skillet, pressing down lightly to flatten.
- Cook the fritters:
- Fry the fritters for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy. Be careful not to overcrowd the pan, and work in batches if necessary. Add more oil if needed between batches.
- Drain and serve:
- Once the fritters are cooked, transfer them to a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil. Repeat with the remaining batter.
- Serve warm with a dollop of sour cream, avocado, or a keto-friendly dipping sauce for extra flavor.
These Keto Zucchini Fritters are crispy, cheesy, and packed with flavor, making them a perfect low-carb option for any meal or snack. They’re easy to make and pair wonderfully with a variety of toppings or sauces. Enjoy them guilt-free as part of your keto lifestyle! 😋
