Zucchini Squash Fritters

Yield: 9 fritters, about 2oz each - Total time: 30 minutes - Gluten Free

It’s that time of year when everyone’s garden is producing crazy amounts of zucchini and summer squash. Let’s make some crispy fritters to liven up that dinner!

Ingredients:

  • 1 medium zucchini, shredded

  • 1 medium summer squash, shredded

  • 1/2 cup Parmesan, grated

  • 2 egg whites

  • 1/2 cup rice flour

  • 1/4 cup green onion, chopped

  • 1 tsp paprika

  • 1/2 tsp turmeric

  • 1 tsp onion powder

  • 1/2 tsp pink Himalayan salt

  • 1 tsp black pepper

  • 3 Tbsp Avocado oil

Method:

  • Shred the zucchini and summer squash using the large side of a box grater.

  • Squeeze as much water from the zucchini and squash as you can using a dish towel.

  • Grate the parmesan cheese using the small grating side of the box grater.

  • In a large mixing bowl add the all the ingredients except for the avocado oil.

  • Mix until thoroughly combined.

  • Get the most non-stick pan you own and heat it to medium high heat.

  • Add the oil to the pan.

  • Once the oil is hot, take a heaping spoonful (about 2oz of batter) and drop it into the hot pan.

  • Flatten out the batter with the back of your spoon so it becomes the shape and thickness you desire. I went with pretty thin fritters so they would be crispy and cook through fast.

  • Cook for about 3 minutes on each side or until they are golden brown.

  • Put on a paper towel or brown paper bag to soak up the excess oil.

  • Perfect served with sour cream.

Enjoy!
