Ingredients

• Zucchini - 300 grams
• Egg - 1 large
• Almond flour - 50 grams
• Parmesan cheese (grated) - 30 grams
• Green onion (finely chopped) - 2 tablespoons
• Garlic powder - 1 teaspoon
• Salt - 1/2 teaspoon

Steps

1. Grate the zucchini using a box grater and place it in a clean kitchen towel. Squeeze out as much excess moisture as possible.
2. In a mixing bowl, combine the grated zucchini, egg, almond flour, grated Parmesan cheese, chopped green onion, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix until well combined.
3. Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add a drizzle of olive oil.
4. Scoop about 2 tablespoons of the zucchini mixture and form it into a patty. Place it in the skillet and flatten it slightly. Repeat with the remaining mixture, ensuring not to overcrowd the skillet.
5. Cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side or until golden brown and crispy.
6. Remove the fritters from the skillet and place them on a paper towel to absorb any excess oil. Serve warm.
