Description

These healthy zucchini fritters are gluten free and paleo friendly.  They are perfect for breakfast or eaten as a side dish to any meal!


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup shredded zucchini, lightly packed (115g)*
  • 1/4 cup finely chopped red onion
  • 3-4 cloves garlic, pressed
  • 1 Tbsp chopped fresh basil
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup cassava flour (75g)
  • 1 tsp salt
  • pepper to taste
  • 2 Tbsp avocado oil (for cooking)

Instructions

  1. Combine zucchini, onion, garlic, basil and eggs in a medium-sized mixing bowl.  Whisk until well combined.
  2. Mix in cassava flour, salt and pepper.
  3. Preheat a frying pan on medium heat and add avocado oil.
  4. Once the pan is hot, shape the fritters and cook them on the frying pan.  To do this: use a large cookie scoop (2 tablespoons in size) to scoop the batter and then shape it into a small pancake using your hands.  Place the fritter on the frying pan and cook for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown.
  5. Cool slightly and serve.
