Oven Fried Zucchini Fritters-Low Carb, Gluten Free
Serves: 4, Makes 12-14 3" Fritters
 
Ingredients
  • 1 pound zucchini (about 2 medium)
  • 3/4 teaspoon table salt
  • 8 ounces feta cheese, crumbled (about 2 cups)
  • 2 scallions, chopped fine (use all the white and about 1/2 of the green)
  • 2 tablespoons fresh dill, chopped fine
  • 2 large eggs, lightly beaten
  • 1 medium garlic glove, minced, pressed through a garlic press, or pounded in a mortar and pestle
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1/4 cup almond flour (also called almond meal)
  • 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
  • 3-4 tablespoons olive oil
Instructions
  1. Grate zucchini on the large holes of a box grater or in a food processor fitted with the shredding disk. Toss the grated zucchini with salt and let it drain in a fine mesh strainer in the sink or set over a bowl for 10 minutes. Squeeze out the excess liquid in batches using 1 of 3 methods: in a dishtowel that you don't care about (twist the towel), in paper towels, or with your hands. A lot more liquid than you would expect will come out.
  2. Combine dried zucchini, feta, scallions, dill, eggs, garlic, pepper, almond flour, and baking powder together in a medium bowl.
  3. Put oven rack in upper third of oven and preheat oven to broil.
  4. Grease 1 large baking sheet or 2 medium (if they fit side by side on 1 oven rack) with 1 - 2 tablespoons of olive oil.
  5. Form fritters by scooping a scant 1/4 cup of mixture and placing on baking sheet. Flatten lightly. Leave about 1 inch between fritters. Using a pastry brush (or your fingers) dab top of fritters with a little olive oil.
  6. Broil, without flipping, until set and lightly brown, 10-12 minutes.
  7. You may need to cook fritters in batches, depending on the size of your baking sheet. Serve immediately.
