Ingredients:
- 2 cups (250g) grated zucchini, squeezed dry
- 1 large (50g) egg, beaten
- 1/2 cup (60g) almond flour
- 1/4 cup (25g) grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 scallions (10g), thinly sliced
- 1 clove (3g) garlic, minced
- 1/2 tsp (3g) kosher salt
- 1/4 tsp (1g) black pepper
- 1/4 tsp (1g) red pepper flakes
- 3 tbsp (45ml) avocado oil
Instructions:
- Grate the zucchini into a bowl and toss with the kosher salt. Let it sit for 10 minutes to draw out moisture.
- Transfer the zucchini to a clean kitchen towel, wrap tightly, and squeeze firmly until no more liquid drips out.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the squeezed zucchini, beaten egg, almond flour, Parmesan cheese, sliced scallions, minced garlic, black pepper, and red pepper flakes.
- Stir gently until ingredients are just incorporated, avoiding over-mixing.
- Heat avocado oil in a non-stick skillet or cast-iron pan over medium-high heat until shimmering.
- Scoop approximately 2 tablespoons of batter per fritter into the pan, flattening slightly with a spatula.
- Fry for 3–4 minutes per side until the fritters reach a deep mahogany-gold color.
