Zucchini and Cheese Fritters

Zucchini and Cheese Fritters are crispy, savory delights that combine the freshness of zucchini with the richness of cheese, making them a perfect low-carb supper option. These fritters are easy to prepare, deliciously satisfying, and ideal for a quick weeknight meal.

Ingredients

• Zucchini - 300 grams
• Eggs - 2 large
• Almond flour - 50 grams
• Parmesan cheese - 50 grams, grated
• Cheddar cheese - 50 grams, shredded
• Green onion - 2 tablespoons, finely chopped
• Garlic powder - 1 teaspoon
• Salt - 1/2 teaspoon
• Black pepper - 1/4 teaspoon
• Olive oil - 2 tablespoons for frying

Steps

1. Grate the zucchini using a box grater and place it in a clean kitchen towel. Squeeze out excess moisture from the zucchini.
2. In a mixing bowl, combine the drained zucchini, eggs, almond flour, Parmesan cheese, cheddar cheese, green onion, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix until well combined.
3. Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat.
4. Scoop about 1/4 cup of the zucchini mixture and form it into a patty. Place it in the skillet and flatten slightly. Repeat with remaining mixture, cooking 2-3 fritters at a time.
5. Cook each fritter for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy. Add more oil as needed.
6. Remove the fritters from the skillet and place them on a paper towel to drain excess oil. Serve warm.
