Keto Zucchini Fritter with Feta & Mint

These keto zucchini fritters are an easy recipe that has the great flavour combination of zucchini, feta and mint. Enjoy them as a light lunch or low carb appetizer.  

We have been enjoying these zucchini fritters for years. Long before we went low carb when I used wheat flour (oh, the shame!) but now I use coconut flour to bind the ingredient. The fritters are so fresh and light and quick to cook.  It's a great way to use up your summer surplus of zucchini too!  The marriage of zucchini, feta and mint is a solid one that will last many years with us as I do have a few other zucchini, feta and mint recipes.

How to make zucchini fritters

The key to making these keto zucchini fritters is to squeeze the water out of the grated zucchini. You could place the grated zucchini in a colander, sprinkle with salt and leave for 15 minutes to help remove the excess water. I squeeze mine out using a nut milk bag but you could use a strong kitchen towel or a muslin square.

Coconut flour is used to help bind these fritters but you could substitute this with almond flour too. I'd advise you add a couple of tablespoons at a time to the mixture until you get a consistency that is firm enough to fry.

What to serve with zucchini fritters

Delicious by themselves with a simple dip or mayonnaise with a dash of lime you could also serve them as a side dish to a fish or chicken dish.
