Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 medium zucchinis, grated and squeezed dry
  • ½ cup almond flour (50g)
  • ¼ cup Parmesan cheese, finely grated (25g)
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 2 green onions, finely sliced
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Coconut oil or avocado oil for frying
  • ½ cup mayo (120ml)
  • 1 large garlic clove, minced
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • ¼ teaspoon smoked paprika (optional)
  • A pinch of salt for aioli

Instructions

  1. Grate and drain the zucchini using a box grater or food processor. Place it in a clean kitchen towel and squeeze firmly to remove as much moisture as possible (about 5 minutes).
  2. In a large bowl, combine the squeezed zucchini, almond flour, grated Parmesan, eggs, sliced green onions, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Stir until evenly incorporated. If too wet, add a tablespoon more almond flour.
  3. Heat 2 tablespoons of coconut or avocado oil over medium heat in a non-stick or cast iron skillet until hot but not smoking.
  4. Scoop about 2 tablespoons of batter per fritter and gently flatten into rounds in the pan. Cook for 3-4 minutes per side until golden brown and crispy. Flip carefully with a spatula.
  5. Transfer cooked fritters to a paper towel-lined plate to absorb excess oil. Keep warm in a low oven (around 200°F / 90°C) while cooking the rest.
  6. In a small bowl, whisk together mayo, minced garlic, lemon juice, smoked paprika, and a pinch of salt until smooth and creamy. Adjust garlic or lemon to taste.
  7. Serve the fritters warm with a generous dollop of creamy garlic aioli on the side or drizzled on top.

Notes

Squeezing out zucchini moisture is crucial for crispiness. Use coconut or avocado oil for frying due to their high smoke points. Keep fritters warm in a low oven to maintain texture. Avoid overcrowding the pan to ensure proper crisping. Batter consistency can be adjusted with extra almond flour if too wet.
