Crispy High-Protein Zucchini Fritters

Prep Time 15 minutes
Cook Time 10 minutes
Total Time 25 minutes
Servings 4

Ingredients
  

  • 2 medium zucchini grated and squeezed dry
  • 2 large eggs lightly beaten
  • 1/4 cup almond flour keeps it low carb
  • 1/4 cup Greek yogurt for protein and moisture
  • 1 tbsp fresh dill finely chopped
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice freshly squeezed
  • 1/2 tsp chili flakes adjust to taste
  • 2 tbsp olive oil for pan-frying

Instructions
 

  • Grate the zucchini and sprinkle with a pinch of salt. Let sit for 10 minutes, then squeeze out as much excess moisture as possible using a clean kitchen towel.
  • In a large mixing bowl, combine the squeezed zucchini, eggs, almond flour, Greek yogurt, fresh dill, lemon juice, and chili flakes. Mix until a cohesive batter forms.
  • Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Scoop 2 tablespoons of the zucchini batter per fritter into the pan, flattening them slightly with the back of a spoon.
  • Pan-fry for 3 to 4 minutes on each side until golden brown and crispy. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate.
  • Serve warm with an extra dollop of Greek yogurt or sour cream and a fresh lemon wedge.
