Ingredients

  • 4 medium zucchini
  • 3 scallions sliced very thinly
  • 2 tsp Italian seasoning
  • 2 tsp garlic powder
  • 2 tsp onion powder
  • ½ tsp sea salt
  • ½ cup + 2 Tbsp coconut flour see notes
  • 2 Tbsp cassava root starch
  • 4 Tbsp olive oil
  • 1 large ripe avocado diced
  • ¼ red onion peeled and diced
  • Juice of ½ a lime
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp onion powder
  • ½ tsp sea salt
  • 2 tbsp roughly chopped fresh cilantro leaves
  • 1 lime cut into wedges for serving

Instructions

  • All ingredients ready? Let's begin!
  • Trim the ends off of the zucchini. Grate it on a box grater and place it in a colander. Using clean hands, squeeze as much moister from the zucchini as you can possibly extract. Dry the pulp with paper towels.
  • In a large bowl, mix together the zucchini, scallions, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, onion powder, and salt.
  • Add in the flour and starch and stir well to combine.
  • Roll the mixture into 12 equal size balls. Press each one slightly to form a patty.
  • Preheat your oven to 350°F. Line a sheet pan with parchment paper.
  • In a large skillet or griddle pan over medium heat, warm 1/2 the olive oil.
  • Sear the fritters in batches until golden brown on both sides, turning once. This should take about 5 minutes per batch. Add more oil, if needed, and continue until all the fritters are fried. Transfer them to the lined sheet pan.
  • Place the pan in the oven and bake until cooked through, approximately 10 to 15 minutes.
  • While the fritters are baking, make the avocado mash: In the mixing bowl, mash the avocado well with a fork. Fold in the onion.
  • Add the lime juice, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and cilantro. Stir well and set aside.
  • Transfer the fritters to a serving platter with lime wedges placed around the perimeter. Place the avocado mash in a small serving bowl. Serve immediately while warm.
