Why It Works
  • The zucchini is grated to remove excess moisture. This helps to prevent the fritters from becoming soggy.
  • The almond flour adds a nutty flavor to the fritters. It also helps to bind the ingredients together.
  • The garlic adds a savory flavor to the fritters.
  • The salt, pepper, and paprika add flavor to the fritters.
  • The egg helps to bind the ingredients together and gives the fritters a golden brown color.
  • The coconut oil is used to fry the fritters. It gives the fritters a crispy exterior and a moist interior.
