Equipment

  • grater
  • Cheesecloth or a thin, clean kitchen towel (Paper towels will also work, but you have to be careful not to break them when squeezing the excess liquid out of the zucchini)

Ingredients

Instructions

  • Add the shredded zucchini to a large colander and sprinkle the salt over it. Toss to combine and then place the colander in the kitchen sink for ten minutes.
  • Remove the zucchini from the colander and place it in the center of a piece of cheesecloth, a clean lightweight kitchen towel, or a few layers of paper towels. Squeeze the zucchini over the kitchen sink to drain as much excess moisture as possible. Set aside the zucchini.
  • Add the cassava flour, parmesan, egg, dried parsley, garlic powder, onion powder, pepper, and baking powder to the bowl and stir until everything is well-combined. Add in the shredded zucchini and stir again until it is fully mixed in.
  • In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons coconut oil or ghee over medium-high heat.
  • When the skillet is hot, reduce to medium heat, then scoop out two tablespoons of the fritter mixture and form it into a ball. Place it in the pan and press it flat using a spatula. Continue adding patties to the pan - spacing each one about one inch apart - until the pan is full.
  • Fry for 2-3 minutes - or until the patties golden-brown on one side - then flip them and cook on the other side.
  • Continue the process until all the fritter mixture is used. Add coconut oil/ghee as needed.
  • Serve hot with a dollop of sour cream or Greek yogurt if desired.
