Process
Note, these instructions are written assuming the standard serving size, since you have modified the number of servings, these steps may need to be modified for best results
- Grate the zucchini and place it in a clean kitchen towel or cheesecloth. Sprinkle with ½ tsp salt and let it sit for 10 minutes to draw out moisture.
- Squeeze out as much liquid as possible. The drier, the better for crispier falafel.
- Mix Ingredients:
- In a large bowl, combine the drained zucchini, almond flour, parsley, garlic, onion, cumin, coriander, paprika, egg, salt, and pepper.
- Mix until a sticky dough forms. If it’s too wet, add 1-2 tbsp more almond flour.
- Scoop about 1 tablespoon of the mixture and roll into small balls and roll into the nut crumbs for crunchy coating
- Bake:
- Preheat oven to 350F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Lightly brush or spray with oil.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden and crispy.
- Air Fry:
- Preheat air fryer to 375°F (190°C).
- Air fry for 12-15 minutes, shaking halfway through.
Notes
🥗 Serving Suggestions: Serve with tahini sauce, Whole30-approved tzatziki, or a side of fresh cucumber salad. Enjoy over a bed of greens or wrapped in lettuce leaves for a light, refreshing meal!
