High Protein Zucchini Fritter

High Protein Zucchini Fritter

These high-protein zucchini fritters are golden, crispy on the outside, and tender on the inside. They’re packed with flavor and perfect for a quick, healthy meal.

  • Total Time: 35 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings

Ingredients

  • Zucchini: 2 medium zucchinis, grated
  • Eggs: 2 large eggs
  • Chickpea Flour: 1/2 cup
  • Garlic: 2 cloves, minced
  • Onion: 1 small onion, finely chopped
  • Herbs: 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped

Instructions

  1. Preheat Your Equipment: Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat with a tablespoon of olive oil.
  2. Combine Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the grated zucchini, eggs, chickpea flour, garlic, onion, and herbs. Season with salt and pepper to taste, and mix until fully combined.
  3. Prepare Your Cooking Vessel: Once the skillet is heated, drizzle with more oil if necessary. Use a ladle or spoon to scoop spoonfuls of the zucchini mixture into the pan, forming small fritters.
  4. Assemble the Dish: Flatten each fritter slightly with the back of the spoon or spatula to ensure even cooking.
  5. Cook to Perfection: Cook each fritter for 3-4 minutes on each side or until golden brown and crispy. Don’t overcrowd the pan, as this will prevent them from crisping up.
  6. Finishing Touches: Once cooked, place the fritters on a paper towel to drain any excess oil.
  7. Serve and Enjoy: Serve warm with your favorite dipping sauce, such as tzatziki or a simple yogurt-based dip.

Notes

  • Squeeze out excess moisture from the zucchini to prevent soggy fritters.
  • Make sure the oil is hot enough to achieve crispiness without burning.
