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. Brown each side until golden brown. I pressed down on the fritters with a spatula once they were flipped over.
Keto Zucchini Fritters
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.
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 your body switches to burning fat for its primary fuel source, that’s when you hit ketosis. While on the Keto diet 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’re supposed to avoid all grains, legumes, root vegetables, fruit, (except berries) and sugar.
