DIRECTIONS
STEP 1
Grate skin-on, uncooked zucchini with a box grater.
STEP 2
Place the shredded zucchini in a colander (and preferably in the sink) and dash with a bit of sea salt. Toss to coat all noodles. The salt helps remove the excess water from the zucchini. Allow the noodles to sit for 10-20 minutes.
STEP 3
Squeeze as much water as you can out of the zucchinis. Then, lay zucchini on paper towels and pat dry with paper towels. Place zucchini in a medium mixing bowl.
STEP 4
In mixing bowl, add eggs, coconut flour, cumin, garlic, cayenne pepper, salt, and pepper. Mix well.
STEP 5
Heat pan over medium heat, adding a fat or oil.
STEP 6
Form zucchini fritter patties with hands. Place in pan. Form outside edges, so stray zucchini shreds don't stick outside the bun.
STEP 7
Cook 3-4 minutes each side, until underside begins to lightly brown.
STEP 8
Serve these gluten-free zucchini fritters with a garlic aioli or spicy paleo mayo.
