Ingredients:
- 2 cups (280g) shredded zucchini
- 1 tsp (6g) kosher salt
- 1 large (50g) egg
- 1/2 cup (60g) almond flour
- 1/4 cup (25g) grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 cloves (6g) minced garlic
- 2 tbsp (8g) fresh parsley, finely chopped
- 1/2 tsp (2g) black pepper
- 1/4 tsp (1g) red pepper flakes
- 3 tbsp (42ml) avocado oil
Instructions:
- Toss shredded zucchini with salt in a bowl and let sit for 5 minutes.
- Place the salted zucchini in a kitchen towel and squeeze firmly over the sink until the towel feels only slightly damp and the zucchini looks matte.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the egg, almond flour, Parmesan, garlic, parsley, black pepper, and red pepper flakes.
- Fold the squeezed zucchini into the batter, stirring until a thick, cohesive paste forms.
- Heat oil in a skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering.
- Scoop approximately 2 tablespoons of batter per fritter into the pan and flatten slightly with a spatula.
- Fry for 3–4 minutes per side, flipping once the bottom is a deep mahogany brown.
