Ingredients
- 2 whole free range eggs
- 1 small or 1/2 large zucchini, grated (approx. 1 cup grated)
- 2 sprigs parsley, chopped
- 1 tbls coconut flour
- 1 heaped tbls psyllium husk
- pinch sea/rock/himalayan salt
- Extra Virgin Olive Oil, for cooking
Method
- Heat a non-stick cooking pan on medium heat.
- Crack eggs into a bowl and whisk.
- Grate zucchini and add into the bowl with the eggs. Add in all other ingredients (except for the extra virgin olive oil) and mix until combined.
- Add about 1 tsp extra virgin olive oil to the pan, enough to lightly cover the area you will pour the fritter mixture onto. Pour about 1/4 of the fritter mixture onto the pan and lightly press down with the back of a spatula. You can use more or less or the mixture depending on the size you want your fritters. Just don’t make them too thick or they don’t cook through well.
- Cook for a few minutes each side until browned and cooked through.
- Repeat steps 4-5 for the remaining of the mixture.
- Serve up on their own, or add a fresh salad, or top with smoked salmon or a poached egg for a larger meal.
