Ingredients
Scale:
1 cup almond flour
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
2 medium zucchini, grated (about 2 cups)
2 large eggs
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese (or nutritional yeast for a vegan option)
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (optional)
Greek yogurt or sour cream for serving
Extra fresh herbs for garnish
Instructions
Grate the zucchini using a box grater. Place the grated zucchini in a clean kitchen towel and squeeze out excess moisture.
In a medium bowl, combine the almond flour, baking powder, salt, and black pepper. Whisk until well mixed and free from lumps.
In a separate large bowl, beat the eggs until frothy. Add the grated zucchini, Parmesan cheese, minced garlic, and parsley. Mix until fully incorporated.
Gradually add the dry mixture into the wet ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Avoid overmixing.
Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C) for about 5 minutes.
Using a tablespoon, scoop the mixture and form small fritters, about 2-3 inches in diameter. Flatten them slightly.
Lightly spray the air fryer basket with cooking spray. Arrange the fritters in a single layer and cook for 10-12 minutes until golden brown and crispy, flipping halfway through.
