Method

Makes 10 fritters

1. Preheat your oven to 200°C (180°C fan-forced) and line a large baking tray with baking paper.

2. Place the grated zucchini in a clean tea towel or use your hands to squeeze out as much excess moisture as possible. This step is key for a crispy finish. Transfer the zucchini to a mixing bowl.

3. Add the beaten eggs, minced garlic, grated cheese, almond meal, and a generous pinch of salt and pepper. Mix everything together until fully combined.

4. Scoop heaped tablespoons of the mixture and roll into 10 even portions. Flatten slightly with your hands to form mini patties, then arrange them on the prepared tray.

5. Bake for 15 minutes, or until the fritters are golden on top and firm to the touch.
