  • 2 cloves garlic (minced)
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil (for frying)
  • Optional: grated Parmesan cheese, fresh herbs, paprika

Instructions

  2. Squeeze out any remaining liquid from the zucchini using your hands or a clean towel.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, combine the egg, gluten-free flour, garlic, pepper, and optional Parmesan. Mix until smooth.
  4. Fold in the drained zucchini and chopped herbs until well combined.
  5. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Scoop about two tablespoons of batter to form patties and fry in batches for 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown.
