Ingredients

2 medium zucchini

2 large eggs

1/3 cup almond flour

2 scallions, chopped

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 tablespoon fresh dill, chopped

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/4 teaspoon black pepper

2 tablespoons olive oil

Instructions

1. Grate the zucchini and place in a colander with a pinch of salt. Let sit for 10 minutes, then squeeze out excess moisture using a clean towel.

2. In a large bowl, combine the grated zucchini, eggs, almond flour, scallions, garlic, dill, salt, and pepper. Mix well until batter forms.

3. Heat olive oil in a nonstick skillet over medium heat. Drop heaping tablespoons of batter into the pan, flattening slightly.

4. Cook fritters for 3–4 minutes per side, or until golden and crisp. Repeat in batches with remaining batter.

5. Place cooked fritters on a paper towel-lined plate to remove excess oil.

6. Serve warm with Greek yogurt or lemon wedges if desired.

Notes

Squeeze the zucchini very well to prevent soggy fritters.

For extra crispiness, cook in smaller batches and don’t overcrowd the pan.

These fritters freeze well—just reheat in a skillet or toaster oven until warm and crispy.
