by | Aug 18, 2019

Ingredients

  • 3 Cups Grated zucchini, packed (about 2 large zucchinis)
  • 5 Tbsp coconut oil
  • 3 Tbsp Fresh Parsley, chopped fine
  • 3/4 – 1 tsp Himalayan Sea Salt, black pepper, garlic powder (to taste)
  • 1.5 Cups Almond flour
  • 2 tsp Coconut flour
  • 3 tbsp sesame seeds
  • 3 Eggs

Sides

  • 4 cups egg whites, cooked with a spray of coconut oil
  • 4 cups raw greens

Directions

1) Chop zucchini into small chunks; then using your food processor, or high powered blender, process using pulse feature until it resembles the texture of grated cheese. Don’t blend into liquid!

2) Place the grated zucchini in a cheese cloth, kitchen towel, or lots of paper towels, and ring out as much moisture as you can; the less moisture the better.s

3) Add 2 tbsp coconut oil, garlic, pepper, sesame seeds, parsley, salt, almond flour and coconut flour. Stir until well mixed; add the eggs, and combine everything.

4) Heat some of the remaining, oil in a large skillet, form the mixture into small patties, about ¼ cup size or smaller, press them flat, depending on the size of your pan you may need to make in batches. Pan-fry until the edges are golden brown and the top is slightly crispy, about 8 minutes on each side. I covered them for the second side. You can also bake them on a baking sheet @ 400 for 30 min.
