Equipment
- Skillet
- Mixing Bowl
- Kitchen towel
Ingredients
- 1 medium zucchini
- 1 large egg, beaten
- 1/3 cup almond flour
- 4 oz ricotta cheese
- 3 tbsp grated parmesan cheese
- 1 tbsp fresh chives, chopped
- 1 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
- to taste salt and pepper
- 1-2 tbsp avocado or olive oil
Instructions
- Warm up a thin layer of healthy cooking oil in a skillet over medium-high heat.
- Shred the fresh zucchini finely (pro-tip: gently squeeze out excess moisture using a clean kitchen towel for a crispier texture).
- In a mixing bowl, combine the shredded zucchini, beaten egg, almond flour, ricotta cheese, parmesan, fresh chives, parsley, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Mix everything together until fully combined.
- Drop spoonfuls of the batter into the hot skillet, flattening them slightly. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes on each side until they are beautifully golden-brown and crispy.
- Place the cooked fritters on a paper-towel-lined plate to drain off any excess oil.
- Serve warm with a dollop of Greek yogurt, sour cream, or your favorite low-carb dipping sauce!
