How to Make Keto-Friendly Zucchini Fritters

Ingredients

To make these delicious zucchini fritters, you’ll need the following ingredients:

• 2 medium zucchinis, grated
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 cup almond flour
• 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
• 1/4 cup finely chopped fresh parsley
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 2 large eggs, beaten
• 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
• Olive oil, for frying
• Sour cream or Greek yogurt, for serving

Step-By-Step Instructions to Make Zucchini Fritters Keto

1 – Prep the Zucchini

• Grate the zucchinis and place them in a colander. Sprinkle with salt and let sit for 10 minutes to draw out moisture. I often do this step while picking more veggies from the garden – it’s amazing how much water zucchini holds!
• After 10 minutes, use a clean kitchen towel or cheesecloth to squeeze out as much liquid as possible. This step is crucial to get those fritters nice and crispy.

2 – Mix the Batter

• In a large bowl, combine the grated zucchini, almond flour, Parmesan cheese, parsley, garlic, eggs, and black pepper. Mix well until all ingredients are thoroughly combined. I love seeing the mixture come together with fresh, fragrant parsley from my herb garden.

3 – Cook the Fritters

• Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add enough olive oil to cover the bottom.
• Scoop about 2 tablespoons of the zucchini mixture into the skillet for each fritter, flattening them slightly with the back of a spoon. Cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crisp.
• Transfer the cooked fritters to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil. I usually enjoy the aroma that fills the kitchen as the fritters sizzle away.

4- Serve

Serve the zucchini fritters warm with a dollop of sour cream or Greek yogurt on the side. These fritters pair beautifully with a fresh salad or just on their own as a delightful snack.

Tips and Variations

Tips for Making the Perfect Zucchini Fritters

• To ensure your fritters are crispy and not soggy, make sure to thoroughly squeeze out all the moisture from the grated zucchini.
• Use a hot skillet and sufficient oil to achieve a golden-brown crust.

Variations

• Add different herbs such as dill or basil for a flavor twist.
• Incorporate other low-carb vegetables like grated carrots or onions.
• Try different cheeses like feta or cheddar for a unique taste.

Storage and Prep Ahead Tips

Storage

Once cooked, allow the zucchini fritters to cool completely. Place them in an airtight container and store them in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

Freezing

To freeze zucchini fritters, place the cooled fritters on a baking sheet in a single layer and freeze until solid. Transfer the frozen fritters to a freezer-safe bag or container. They can be stored in the freezer for up to 3 months. When ready to eat, reheat directly from frozen in a skillet or oven until heated through.

Reheating

For best results, reheat the fritters in a skillet over medium heat until crispy and warmed through. Alternatively, you can reheat them in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 10 minutes.

Make-Ahead Tips

• Prepare the batter ahead of time and store it in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours. When ready to cook, simply scoop and fry the batter as directed.
• Cook the fritters in advance and store them in the refrigerator or freezer. Reheat them as needed for a quick and convenient snack or side dish.
