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:

  1. Toss shredded zucchini with salt in a bowl and let sit for 5 minutes.
  2. 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.
  3. In a large bowl, whisk together the egg, almond flour, Parmesan, garlic, parsley, black pepper, and red pepper flakes.
  4. Fold the squeezed zucchini into the batter, stirring until a thick, cohesive paste forms.
  5. Heat oil in a skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering.
  6. Scoop approximately 2 tablespoons of batter per fritter into the pan and flatten slightly with a spatula.
  7. Fry for 3–4 minutes per side, flipping once the bottom is a deep mahogany brown.
