Equipment
Ingredients
- 2 medium zucchini shredded (about 2 cups)
- 2 slices bacon
- 1/3 cup Wholesome Yum Superfine Almond Flour
- 1 large egg lightly beaten
- 3 green onions chopped
- 1 clove garlic minced
- 2 ounces cheddar cheese shredded
- pink salt
- cracked black pepper
- sour cream for serving (optional)
- fresh chopped chives for serving (optional)
Instructions
- Place grated zucchini in a mesh strainer, or colander, over the sink. Sprinkle with salt and gently toss to combine; let sit for 20 minutes. Wrap zucchini in a clean dishtowel and squeeze out the excess liquid.
- Meanwhile, in a large non-stick skillet, cook the bacon until crisp. Remove to a paper towel-lined plate, remove the skillet from the heat reserving the bacon fat. When the bacon is cool, chop or crumble it.
- In a large bowl, combine zucchini, almond flour, egg, green onions, garlic, cheese, and bacon; season with salt and pepper, to taste.
- Heat the bacon fat in the skillet over medium heat. Using a cookie scooper (a rounded tablespoon), place one scoop of batter for each fritter in the hot skillet, flattening with a spatula, and cook until the underside is nicely golden brown, about 2 minutes.
- Carefully flip and cook on the other side, about 1-2 minutes longer.
- Serve immediately with sour cream and chives.
