Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees
- Chop the broccoli into small florets and churn them through a food processor for about 15-30 seconds until finely chopped and coarse - then transfer to a bowl
- Next - discard the non-edible end of the zucchini and grate it (either in the same food processor or with the help of a grater) - then transfer to the same bowl as that of the broccoli
- Mix well and add some salt to this mixture and set aside for 20 mins until the broccoli and zucchini leave behind all its water
- After 20 mins grab a kitchen cloth or a cheese cloth and transfer the broccoli and zucchini mixture to this and wrap the cloth around and squeeze it tightly to remove all excess water
- Now transfer the contents on the cloth to a large mixing bowl
- Add in almond flour, coconut flour, psyllium husk, egg, baking soda, cream of tartar, onion powder, cayenne pepper, chopped herbs, avocado oil, salt and black pepper - and mix well
- You should have a slightly sticky kind of a consistency for this batter
- Line a baking pan with a sheet of parchment paper
- Pull out one section of the batter and keep it on your hand. Now press it with the help of your other hand to form a circular shape, fine tune the edges if need be and create a hole in the middle with the help of your index finger to make it look like a doughnut
- Then place the circle on the parchment paper
- If your batter breaks apart from the side while making the hole don't worry, gently put it back together while on the hand
- Rework the same way to create other fritters / donoughnuts
- This batter yields for about 7 fritters
- Once all the fritters / doughnuts are lined grease them lightly with avocado oil using an application brush
- Bake them in the oven for 22 mins at first
- After 22 mins remove the pan and turn each piece upside down (be careful and do not burn yourself) and bake them again for an extra 15 minutes
- Remove and let cool for 10 mins and then Serve with homemade gluten free and low carb ketchup or any preferred green dip
- Store in fridge for up to 7 - 10 days
