Ingredients
For the fritters:
- 3 Cups zucchini packed (about 2 large zucchinis, grated
- 2 Tbsp olive oil divided
- 2/3 Cup onion diced
- 20 Twists lemon pepper Real Salt Organic brand
- 20 Twists garlic pepper Real Salt Organic brand
- 6 Tbsp parsley minced
- 3/4 - 1 tsp sea salt Real Salt brand
- 1 Cup almond flour (100g) **
- 2 tsp coconut flour
- 1 egg white
- olive oil spray form
For the dip:
- 1/2 Cup mayonnaise Paleo-friendly
- 5 tsp lemon juice fresh
- 4 tsp dill chopped and tightly packed, fresh
- 4 Twists lemon pepper Real Salt brand
- sea salt to taste, Real Salt brand
Instructions
- Heat your oven to 400 degrees and line a baking sheet with parchment paper (not a silpat.) .Use a dark colored baking sheet if you have one as it helps crisp them!
- Place the grated zucchini in a kitchen towel and ring out as much moisture as you can. Put some muscle into it so your fritters don't get soggy. Add it into a large bowl.
- Heat 2 tsp of the oil up in a large pan on medium heat, reserving the rest for later. Cook the onion until soft and golden brown, and then add it into the zucchini.
- Add the lemon pepper, garlic pepper, parsley, salt, almond flour and coconut flour. Stir until well mixed. Add in the egg white and stir well into the zucchini mixture.
- Drop on the prepared baking sheet by 16 scant 1/4 cup balls - or about 3 Tbsp. Press out very flat (about 1/4 of an inch) and spray the tops with the olive oil spray. (You may need to cook in two batches)
- Bake until the edges are golden brown and the top is slightly crispy, about 25-30 minutes. Then, turn your oven to HIGH broil and broil until crisp, about 2-3 minutes. Watch closely as these can burn FAST.
- Mix all the dip ingredients together and DEVOUR with the fritters!
Notes
- *I like these with 1 tsp of Sea Salt, but I do tend to like things on the saltier side. So, if you're sensitive to salt I recommend using 3/4 tsp and then sprinkle some on top once cooked, if you need more.
- **Please weigh your flour to ensure accurate results
- TO MAKE THESE IN THE AIR FRYER:
- Preheat your air fryer to 400 degrees and GENEROUSLY rub the wire basket with oil. Press the zucchini fritters out in your hands and then place 4-5 into the basket at a time, spraying the tops with oil spray. Cook until the edges are golden brown and the top is crisp, about 10-15 minutes. Use a spatula to flip (the bottom WILL stick to the basket, which is why I prefer the oven) and cook an additional 5-7 minutes.
