Paleo & Vegan Zucchini Cauliflower Fritters
Ingredients: yields 8 patties
● 1/2 head cauliflower approximately 3 cups, chopped
● 2 medium zucchini
● 1/4 cup coconut flour
● 2 large eggs
● 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
● 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions:
Grate the zucchini in a food processor or high-speed blender.
Steam the cauliflower for about 5 minutes until just fork tender. Add the cauliflower to the food processor/blender and process until broken down into small chunks. Do not over process or it will become a mash.
Use a dishtowel or nut milk bag to squeeze as much moisture as possible out of the grated veggies.
Transfer to a bowl and add the flour of choice, egg (if using), salt, pepper, and any other seasonings you like. Mix to thoroughly combine. Shape into small patties or burgers (I got about 8).
Heat up 1 tablespoon of coconut oil in a large pan. Add 4 fritters/burgers to the pan and cook over medium heat for 2-3 minutes per side. Repeat with the second half of the fritters/burgers.
Serve with dipping sauce of choice or low carb burger bun.
Notes:
These fritters can be enjoyed in numerous ways.
In a salad- Pair it with some veggie chips or roasted cauliflower.
On top of some cauliflower rice- Boost your protein and veggie intake by eating them on top of some cauliflower fried rice.
