Ingredients:

For the Zucchini Patties:

  • 2 medium-sized zucchini, grated
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 large egg
  • 1/2 cup almond flour
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon dried basil
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Olive oil for cooking

For Assembling:

  • Keto-friendly burger buns or lettuce wraps
  • Burger toppings of your choice (lettuce, tomato, onion, cheese, avocado, etc.)
  • Keto-friendly mayonnaise or other sauces

Instructions:

  1. Prepare Zucchini:
    • Grate the zucchini using a box grater. Place the grated zucchini in a colander, sprinkle with 1/2 teaspoon of salt, and let it sit for about 10-15 minutes to allow excess moisture to drain.
  2. Squeeze Out Moisture:
    • Squeeze out the excess moisture from the grated zucchini using a clean kitchen towel or paper towels. The drier the zucchini, the better the patties will hold together.
  3. Make Zucchini Patties:
    • In a mixing bowl, combine the grated zucchini, egg, almond flour, grated Parmesan cheese, minced garlic, dried oregano, dried basil, salt, and pepper. Mix well until everything is evenly combined.
  4. Form Patties:
    • Divide the mixture into equal portions and shape them into patties.
  5. Cook Patties:
    • Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Cook the zucchini patties for 3-4 minutes on each side or until golden brown and cooked through.
  6. Assemble Burgers:
    • If you’re using keto-friendly burger buns, toast them lightly. Assemble the burgers by placing the zucchini patties on the buns or lettuce wraps.
  7. Add Toppings:
    • Add your favorite keto-friendly toppings such as lettuce, tomato, onion, cheese, avocado, and any sauces you prefer.
  8. Serve:
    • Serve your Keto Zucchini Burgers immediately and enjoy!
