Ingredients
  

  • 2 medium zucchinis, grated Drained thoroughly
  • 1/4 cup coconut flour
  • 2 eggs (or flax eggs for egg-free)
  • 1/2 tsp sea salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tbsp olive oil for frying

Equipment

  • Grater or Food Processor
  • Mixing Bowls
  • Non-stick Skillet
  • Spatula
  • Clean Kitchen Towel For squeezing moisture out of zucchini

Method
 

  1. Start by grating your zucchinis and squeeze out as much moisture as possible using a clean kitchen towel.
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine the squeezed zucchini, coconut flour, eggs, salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Stir until a sticky batter forms.
  3. Let the mixture sit for 2–3 minutes before shaping the fritters.
  4. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Scoop spoonfuls of the batter onto the pan and flatten them slightly with the back of the spoon.
  5. Cook for 3–4 minutes per side, or until golden brown. Flip carefully to keep their shape intact.

Notes

Be sure to drain the zucchini thoroughly to avoid soggy fritters. Overcrowding the pan can lead to steaming instead of crisping, so cook in batches if necessary.
For added flavor, you can mix in a pinch of nutritional yeast. If desired, try variations such as herbed fritters with fresh dill or basil, or make them spicier by adding red pepper flakes.
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. They reheat well in a toaster oven or skillet, but avoid microwaving to maintain crispiness. For freezing, flash-freeze the fritters on a baking sheet before transferring to a freezer bag. They last up to 2 months.
