Almond Zucchini Fritters
When making fritters, you’ll need a thickening agent. For this recipe, we used almond flour to make the fritters hold together. This way, we’ve got some gluten-free fritters which also have a subtle almond taste. Need more reasons for trying them? All we can say is this: they are flavored with spring onion, mint, and parsley.

How to Make Almond Zucchini Fritters
- Shred the zucchini and add it into a bowl. Salt it, mix through, and set it aside for 10 minutes to leave its moisture. Squeeze out all the moisture from the zucchini with your hands, then move the shredded zucchini to another bowl.
- Add the green peas, spring onion, salt and pepper by taste, lemon zest, eggs, mint leaves, parsley, and almond flour. Stir with a spoon to combine everything. If it’s necessary, add more almond flour to make sure the mixture holds together well.
- Heat olive oil into a skillet. Add zucchini mixture into the skillet using a spoon, then press a little to give it a fritter shape. Cook the fritters on medium-heat in a for 2-3 minutes on each side or until cooked through.
