Zucchini Fritters

These zucchini fritters are a great side dish for brunch or as the main dish with a poached egg on top! The recipe is pretty quick to make - and even quicker if you use a food processor. I used a hand held grater for these. 

Ingredients:

- 3  medium zucchinis 

- 2 eggs

- 2 Tbsp coconut flour

- 1/2 tsp sea salt

- 1/2 tsp black pepper

- 1/4 of a yellow onion diced

- coconut oil for cooking

Directions:

Grate zucchinis with either a box grater or food processor. Place zucchini in a large bowl and sprinkle with sea salt. Let sit for about 10 minutes. While you let the zucchini sit saute the onion in coconut oil until transparent. Remove from pan and set aside.  Take zucchini in separate handfuls and squeeze in between two paper towels as much moisture out of them as you can. OR if you have a cheesecloth use the cloth to squeeze all the moisture out of the shreds.  If you skip this step you will have some very sad looking soggy fritters :( 

Place all ingredients in a large bowl except coconut oil. Hand mix well. Heat a skillet to medium heat with coconut oil. Drop pancake sized fritters and cook until golden brown on each side. About 3 minutes a side. Add more coconut oil for each batch you cook. 

Serve as a side dish with brunch or as a zucchini "pancake" topped with a poached egg.
