Delicious Keto Zucchini and Cheddar Cheese Fritters

Ingredients
- 2 medium zucchinis, grated and excess moisture squeezed out
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 large egg, beaten
- 1/2 cup almond flour
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- Oil for frying
Instructions
- Prepare the Zucchini: Grate the zucchinis and place them in a clean kitchen towel. Squeeze out any excess moisture to prevent the fritters from being soggy.
- Mix the Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the grated zucchini, shredded cheddar cheese, beaten egg, almond flour, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Mix well until fully combined.
- Heat the Oil: In a frying pan, heat oil over medium heat to fry the fritters.
- Form the Fritters: Using a scoop or spoon, take about 2 tablespoons of the mixture, form it into a patty, and gently place it in the hot oil. Repeat until the pan is filled but not overcrowded.
- Cook Until Golden: Fry the fritters for about 3-4 minutes on each side or until they are golden brown and crispy. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
- Serve: Enjoy the fritters warm, optionally with a low-carb dipping sauce or a side salad.
