Zucchini fritters are naturally low in carbs, but by using almond flour and parmesan cheese, we make them perfectly suitable for a ketogenic diet. These fritters are crispy on the outside, tender on the inside, and bursting with savory goodness.

Ingredients:

• 1 medium zucchini, grated
• 1/4 cup almond flour
• 1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese
• 1 egg, lightly beaten
• 1 clove garlic, minced
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 tablespoons olive oil (for frying)

Instructions:

1. Grate the zucchini and place it in a colander. Sprinkle with salt and let it sit for 10-15 minutes to draw out excess moisture.
2. Squeeze the zucchini dry using a clean kitchen towel or your hands. This step is crucial for preventing soggy fritters!
3. In a medium bowl, combine the squeezed zucchini, almond flour, parmesan cheese, egg, minced garlic, salt, and pepper. Mix well.
4. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
5. Drop spoonfuls of the zucchini mixture into the hot oil, flattening them slightly with a spatula.
6. Cook for 3-4 minutes per side, or until golden brown and crispy.
7. Remove the fritters from the skillet and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
8. Serve immediately and enjoy!

Tips and Variations:

• Add a pinch of red pepper flakes for a little heat.
• Experiment with different cheeses, such as mozzarella or cheddar.
• Serve with a dollop of sour cream, Greek yogurt, or your favorite keto-friendly dipping sauce.
