Homemade Keto Zucchini Fritters
🥘 Ingredients (Makes ~12 fritters)
2 medium zucchinis, grated
1 tsp salt (for drawing out water)
1 large egg
½ cup grated parmesan cheese
¼ cup almond flour (or coconut flour, use only 2 tbsp if coconut)
1 tsp garlic powder
½ tsp onion powder
½ tsp black pepper
2 tbsp olive oil or avocado oil (for frying)
(Optional: fresh herbs like parsley, dill, or chives for extra flavor)
👩🍳 Instructions
Prep the zucchini
Grate zucchini and place in a colander. Sprinkle with salt and let sit 10 minutes to release moisture.
Squeeze out excess water using a clean towel or cheesecloth.
Mix the batter
In a bowl, combine zucchini, egg, parmesan, almond flour, and spices. Mix until sticky and combined.
Form fritters
Scoop about 2 tablespoons of mixture per fritter, flatten slightly with your hands or a spoon.
Cook
Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat.
Fry fritters 2–3 minutes per side until golden brown and crispy.
Serve
Drain on a paper towel to remove excess oil.
Serve hot with a keto-friendly dip like sour cream, garlic aioli, or ranch.
✅ Keto Notes
Almond flour replaces breadcrumbs — keeps carbs super low.
Parmesan adds flavor and binding power.
Each fritter is only about 1–2 net carbs, depending on size.
