These grain-free zucchini fritters are the perfect way to use up garden zucchini. Squeezing out every drop of moisture is the secret to fritters that crisp rather than steam.
Grate zucchini and squeeze in a clean kitchen towel until as dry as possible. This is the most important step.
Mix squeezed zucchini with eggs, almond flour, green onions, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
Heat avocado oil in a skillet over medium-high heat.
Drop 2-tablespoon portions of batter into the pan and flatten slightly. Cook 3-4 minutes per side until golden brown.
Drain on paper towels and serve warm with your favorite dipping sauce.
Serve with crusty artisan bread for dipping
Finish with a drizzle of high-quality extra virgin olive oil
Pair with a simple arugula salad dressed in lemon vinaigrette
Arrange on a platter for easy sharing at your next gathering
