Preparation

Step 1

Prepare the Gluten Free Zucchini Fritters
Rinse, trim, and grate the zucchini using a box grater.
Place the shreds in a colander and sprinkle salt over the shreds.
Place the colander over the sink and allow zucchini to drain for 1 hour in order to remove any water.
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the almond meal, flax seed, all-purpose flour, and parmesan cheese.
Add the shredded zucchini to a different bowl and whisk in the lightly-beaten egg. Pour the dry flour mixture into the bowl with the zucchini and stir to combine. Allow fritter mixture to sit for 5 to 10 minutes.
Heat 2 to 3 tablespoons of grapeseed oil (or high-temp oil of choice) over medium heat in a cast iron skillet (or medium-high in a regular skillet), enough to generously coat the surface.
Using your hands, form patties that are roughly ¼ cup each. Gently place them on the hot cast iron and allow them to cook until the sides begin to firm up, about 3 minutes. Carefully flip to the other side and cook an additional 3 minutes, or until fritters are cooked through.

Prepare the Herb-Garlic Aioli:
Combine all ingredients for the aioli in a small bowl and stir together well. Add salt or additional lemon juice to taste.
Serve the fritters fresh from the skillet with herb-garlic aioli.
