Zucchini Fritters (Paleo, Grain Free, Gluten Free)

3 January, 2013 by Slim Palate 125 Comments

IMG_2446-2

You know what happens when you have an over abundance of zucchini in the fridge? You pick up more at the store because you forgot that you already had an over abundance in the fridge. That way you can be left with a fridge that is overflowing with zucchini. Now that you’re in the predicament that I was in you now have to make a bunch of fun things with zucchini. Well, okay you don’t have to do it like I did, but you can definitely do a lot of really great tasting and quite gorgeous recipes with zucchini.

IMG_2396

In fact zucchini may just be the most powerful vegetable in the world. It needs a little cape and everything because you can make just about anything out of zucchini. Zucchini noodles, zucchini bread, zucchini spread, im even considering zucchini ice cream and maybe even zucchini infused coffee. I may be getting ahead of myself here with the coffee. But the point is that zucchini is awesome.

Especially in fritter form. They are a lot like potato latkes that I used to have when I was really little. There was this awesome deli when I lived in California called Morts Deli. Man that place was amazing. Me and my mom would always go down there for a quick lunch and usually meet up with my nanny Chachi. To which I wish to express to you who that is, but I’m going to save it for another post.

IMG_2414

That deli was like a second home for us, whenever we would go there they would know what I wanted to order every time and treated me and my mom like family every time we went in there. This is the place where I discovered  potato latkes. My mom basically taught me how to eat them too. If i remember correctly the process consisted of centering the latke on your plate, then placing a dollop of sour cream on said latke but not in the center on an area that your ready to cut off, then place a slightly smaller dollop of applesauce over the dollop of sour cream and then cram it in your mouth.

IMG_2428

My first thought was disgust but once I ate it I was hooked. But with the way I eat now I’m not all that into potatoes. Sure I love the taste of them but they are just too starchy and sugary. Sure I could just have 1 or 2 but to be honest I want like 4 or 5. So with my overabundance of zucchini in the fridge and my knowledge of zucchinis versatility as a mega vegetable I decided to do some research. And It turned out quite a lot of people have made zucchini latkes.

IMG_2429

So it was somewhat of a miracle when I saw all of these recipes. Although as I looked I started finding several recipes for zucchini fritters which were pretty much the exact same thing just with a different name. And in my opinion zucchini fritters fits these better than zucchini latkes.

IMG_2491

Plus it would be total sacrilege to call these actual “latkes” since they don’t have traditional ingredients you would find in a latke. So we will stick with fritters.

Ingredients
  • 2 medium zucchini (about 350-400g)
  • 2 green onions thinly sliced (12g)
  • ¼ cup almond flour
  • ¼ cup (about 1 ounce or 28g) fresh grated parmigiana reggiano (packed down)
  • 2 eggs
  • salt and pepper to taste(make sure its fresh ground black peper)
  • Optional: 1 teaspoon lemon juice
  • oil for frying (I used 2 tablespoons of walnut oil. Avocado oil or coconut oil would work great too)
Instructions
  1. Grate zucchini with a medium sized grater so you get decent shreds of zucchini.
  2. Add salt and place shredded zucchini in a clean dishtowel and squeeze to get as much liquid out of it as possible. (It doesnt have to be perfect but do try to get as much as you can)
  3. Once squeezed place back in bowl and add beaten eggs, thinly sliced green onions, almond flour, parmigiana reggiano, and fresh ground black pepper and mix thorougly.(this is where you would add the lemon juiceif you choose to use it)
  4. Heat 2 tablespoons of yoru choice of cookign oil over medium heat and wait for that pan to get super hot.
  5. Once oil is shimmering add spoonfuls of mixture in hot oil and fry until golden brown on each side. About 2-3 minutes per side.
  6. Place on platter lined with paper towels to soak up any grease that sticks to the fritter and serve with sour cream and extra green onions on the side. And if you want to be really traditional you could serve it with sour cream and applesauce both on the side so each person can control how much sour cream/applesauce goes on.

        No problem. I made just one recipe last night, but I’m sure I had more than enough zucchini. It was more than enough for everyone. My daughter, the photographer, took pictures and hopefully will post them to you. I served it with a roasted chicken. They were wonderful! Even my picky, not so happy that we’re switching away from the things he likes 15 yr old liked them.

    I just made these with frozen zucchini I had grated last fall and thought I better start using it up! I swapped the almond flour for coconut flour because I live in the boonies and it’s what I had. Used coconut oil to cook and they stuck a little bit but they’re yummy!!!!! I’ve been gluten free for 3 weeks now and these helped ease this craving I have to chew some bread!

      Was it an even substitute for the almond flour? Or did you use less coconut flour? These sound so yummy, but I don’t have any almond flour and I have lots of coconut flour that’s begging to be used for something good!

      Reply
      • Slim Palate says

        8 May, 2013 at 2:51 pm

        Hey Saige, I wouldn’t recommend substituting coconut flour. Coconut flour is very, very absorbent and works very differently to almond flour. If you don’t have almond flour and really want to try these I recommend this brand or you can make your own almond meal which would work okay for this recipe by grinding up some almonds in a food processor until you get a fine grind but not to the point that it’s nut butter. Also I only currently have one recipe that is using strictly coconut flour that you could use that coconut flour in which is my Lemon Chia Seed Muffins. I plan on getting more coconut flour recipes up as well.

    So zucchini season is upon us, and with three plants in the yard we will soon have more zucchini than we know what to do with. I made zucchini fritters last summer and they were a hit. Now I’m trying to get healthy ( 53, over weight, arthritis…), been eating low carb. I’m going to try this recipe and your cauliflower tortillas, because they look great! Awesome job on your weight loss, and your blog is great!

        Some feedback.

        After I made the first batch – where I followed your ingredient amounts very loosely – I added too much onion and didn’t fry/cook the fritters enough, meaning the onion wasn’t thoroughly fried.

        I suffered from eating this volume of onion that I had added. I am still learning my way through paleo/healthy, and have only just discovered that I can’t eat large amounts of raw onion without feeling strange afterwards. I realised then that when I fried these fritters up, the onion didn’t cook as much as I needed.

        I’ve made a second batch now, and I pre-fried the onion in macadamia nut oil. And now I can eat as much as I want without it affecting me.

        This is (as mentioned before) the most delicious vegetable recipe that I know how to cook! Really awesome.

    These are great! Taste very similar to a potato pancake. I used regular onion minced fine – a strong onion at that – added zing :-). These are VERY delicate – keep that in mind when trying to flip them. I used 2 spatulas – and when I make them again I may add some all purpose flour to help them adhere – of course then they aren’t gluten free – and would add some carbs.

    I made these last night but used feta cheese instead. This is the second time I’ve tried them, but they don’t stay together and fall apart! While the taste is still good, it made a mess in my pan and it didn’t make patties. I used coconut oil to fry them. Not sure why it didn’t work? Is the difference in cheese really the problem? I used to make these with feta cheese and wheat flour with no problem, but haven’t had much luck since going gluten free.

    I just made these after discovering some zucchini in the drawer of my fridge…had forgotten it was there, it was bought for another recipe but I excluded them…..anyway, last nite I made chocolate zucchini muffins using almond flour….and since I’m working on losing pounds, I didn’t want yet ANOTHER portion of almonds, so I subbed coconut flour I had also laying around.

    Coconut flour is definitely more absorbant….and left my fritters a little dry…I would half the amount next time because even though they were a little dry, they were still yummy!

    So my advice is, yes to coconut flour, just use less!

    In the old days I would make these with white flour (omg) just the way mom made them. There was never any measuring, so next time I will use the good old technique of just sprinkling the coco flour until it looks right! Great recipe and thank you for the chance to experiment with these alternate “flours”!!

    Hi Joshua! Just found your site after looking for a receipe with almond flour. I halved your recipe and used a yellow zucchini (which only turned out to half after taking off most of the overripe peel) + small potato (omitted cheese). I added 1/4 of a carrot and used a chia seed egg (1 tablespoon chia seeds + 3 tblspoon water) and fried on our stovetop grill with avocado oil. They turned out delish!! Thanks 🙂

    Could these be made without any type of flour or breadcrumb, etc.? I love the idea of these but prefer to not have that if at all possible.

    I am dying to try these but my family and I are lactose and tolerante we cannot consume diary! Is there any modifications I can do to still make these? Thank you, they look divine.

      I made these with the vegan parmesan cheese for my daughter and they tasted great.

    These are great! Glad a Google search brought me to your site. Looks like there are lots of delicious recipes to try 🙂

    My only comment on these is that the zucchini continued to release its juices after I had squeezed and put the rest of the mix together. So these probably wern’t as crispy as they could have been. Next time might let the zucchini ‘sit’ for 5 or 10 mins in the salt before making the big squeeze.

    Flavour was perfect.. and with the sour cream.. YUM!

    Cheese is not Paleo. Period. In any form. Please remove the paleo tag, the paleo community is rife with incorrect recipes. Stop contributing to this.

      That entirely depends upon which brand of Paleo you choose to embrace! Cultured dairy can be a healthy addition to the basic Paleo template in moderation. There is no hard and fast, black-and-white ruling on what should/should not be Paleo these days. The best thing to do is consider a particular food’s effect on one’s own body.

      These pancakes were AMAZING. I followed the recipe exactly. Enjoyed them with cultured cream and homemade applesauce. A new favorite breakfast. Will make again soon. Thank you!!

        **update**

        First, I must apologize for calling these wonders of creation “pancakes” in my earlier comment. Clearly, they are not pancakes. Second, I have appreciated this recipe so much that I make these fritters at least once or twice a week. I get so sad when the last fritter from each batch is gone!!

    These turned out great. I appreciate that your recipe uses less flour than some of the others I was looking at. I used lemon pepper seasoning in place of the lemon juice.and also garlic salt.

    I had trouble frying these. I don’t think it’s anything with your recipe, I’m just an inexperienced fryer. I made a few attempts but they were coming out blackened and our house was getting smokey. I ended up baking the rest at 400 for 30 mins.

    My husband made a dipping sauce out of mayo, buffalo sauce, some ranch and garlic powder. It was all pretty good.

    This is now my go to recipe for zucchini fritters. Have now made them many times and everyone loved them. I use gluten free flour in place of the almond flour and fry them in coconut or avocado oil in a cast iron pan and they turn out perfect. I did make them once with coconut flour but they were crumbly even though they tasted great. I use two spatulas for ease when turning them. They heat up well the day after too. A five star recipe for sure.
