How to make Keto Zucchini Fritters

To make these delicious Keto Zucchini Fritters, you grate the zucchini then place in a strainer over a bowl. Press as much liquid out as you can. You can also squeeze the liquid out using a clean kitchen towel or cheese cloth.

Using a blender, blend the eggs and cream cheese until smooth. Add the coconut flour and baking powder to the blender and blend until smooth.

Then in a large bowl add the shredded and strained zucchini and batter. Mix until well combined. In a buttered frying pan, over medium heat, fry the Zucchini fritter batter a 1/4 cup at a time.

WHAT IS THE KETOGENIC DIET?

If you haven’t heard of The ketogenic diet (often called keto), it’s a very low-carb, high-fat diet that shares similarities to paleo, Whole30, and Atkins. It involves drastically reducing carbohydrate intake, and replacing it with fat. When in ketosis, your body switches to burning fat for its primary fuel source.

On Keto, you’re supposed to get at least 70 percent of your calories from Fat, 15 to 25 percent from Protein, and 10 percent from Carbohydrates. You should avoid all grains, legumes, root vegetables, fruit, (except berries) and sugar.

This recipe for Keto Zucchini Fritters is a cinch to whip up and tastes amazing. They make a delicious meal or side dish and can be made with many variations. For a little extra flavour, you could add scallions, green onions or chives. You could also add feta or parmesan cheese. The crispy fritters can be served with any type of dip. I used sour cream, which was delicious but you could use a greek yogurt dip, tartar sauce or ranch instead.

Recipe Tips:

– Let the zucchini fritters fully brown before flipping. If they break apart just press them bake together with a spatula.

–  Press down on the fritters with a spatula, after flipping over.

– If you like a thicker batter add 1 Tbsp extra of the coconut flour.

– The butter can be switched out for coconut oil or your preferred keto cooking oil.

    Tried it.
    Loved it. So did everyone who tried it. 👍🏾 5 STARS!!
    From my interpretation of the recipe, the cream cheese/egg mixture was more than enough. I have leftover mixture to hopefully turn into breakfast pancakes.

    Should I measure out the zucchini before or after I squeeze out the water?

    Would it be good to use yellow squash instead? I have lots of yellow squash from my garden.

      Hi Donna, here’s the nutritional information.
      Each Serving = 2 Fritters
      258 Cal | 19.4 g Fat | 10.9 g Carbs | 4.7 g Fibre |
      So that means 3.1 g net carb per Fritter.
