Sesame Almond Zucchini Fritters with Egg Whites
Ingredients
- 3 Cups Grated zucchini, packed (about 2 large zucchinis)
- 5 Tbsp coconut oil, 2 for the fritters/3 for pan frying!
- 3 Tbsp Fresh Parsley, chopped fine
- 3/4 – 1 tsp Himalayan Sea Salt, black pepper, garlic powder (season as you prefer!)
- 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 Vitamix, food processor, or high powered blender, process 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 more dry the better!!!
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!
