Zesty Zucchini Fritters: A quick and easy way to enjoy zucchini. These fritters are packed with flavor and can be served as a side dish or appetizer.
Zucchini fritters have been around for centuries, but they've recently gained popularity as a healthy and delicious way to enjoy zucchini. These fritters are made with a simple batter of zucchini, almond flour, eggs, onion, bell pepper, garlic powder, oregano, salt, and pepper. The batter is then fried in olive oil until golden brown and cooked through. Zucchini fritters are a great way to use up leftover zucchini, and they're also a good source of fiber and vitamins. They can be served with a variety of dipping sauces, such as ketchup, mayonnaise, or ranch dressing.
