Key Considerations and Tips
- Zucchini Preparation: Ensure that the zucchini is well-drained to avoid sogginess. Excess moisture can lead to fritters that are mushy rather than crispy.
- Binding Ingredients: The combination of almond flour and egg helps bind the fritters together. Adjust the amount of almond flour if needed to get the right consistency.
- Cooking Temperature: Cook the fritters on medium heat. Too high, and they may burn on the outside before cooking through. Too low, and they may become greasy.
- Flavor Additions: Feel free to experiment with additional herbs and spices to suit your taste preferences. Fresh herbs like dill or chives can enhance the flavor.
