Paleo Zucchini Fritters with Avocado Ranch

These paleo zucchini fritters are a delicious and healthy way to use up any extra zucchini you have on hand. They're made with almond flour and tapioca flour, so they're grain-free and gluten-free. They're also packed with protein and fiber, thanks to the zucchini and egg. Serve them with the avocado ranch dipping sauce for a complete meal.

I first developed this recipe a few years ago when I was looking for a way to use up some extra zucchini from my garden. I wanted to make something that was both healthy and delicious, and these fritters fit the bill perfectly. They're easy to make, and they can be served as a main course or a side dish. I like to serve them with the avocado ranch dipping sauce, but they're also good with your favorite dipping sauce.

Prep time: 15 | Cook time: 12 | Serves: 4

Ingredients

• 1 medium zucchini, grated
• 1/2 cup almond flour
• 1/4 cup tapioca flour
• 1/4 cup chopped onion
• 1/4 cup chopped parsley
• 1 egg
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

1. Preheat the air fryer to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
2. In a large bowl, combine the zucchini, almond flour, tapioca flour, onion, parsley, egg, salt, and pepper. Mix well.
3. Form the mixture into 1-inch balls. Place the balls in the air fryer basket and cook for 10-12 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.
4. Serve the fritters with the avocado ranch dipping sauce.

Why It Works

• The combination of almond flour and tapioca flour gives the fritters a crispy exterior and a tender interior.
• The zucchini adds moisture and flavor to the fritters.
• The egg helps to bind the fritters together.
• The salt and pepper add flavor to the fritters.
