I had such a beautiful afternoon spending time with my girlfriend Sarah and talking about her amazing weight-loss using the keto lifestyle plan. She has lost 40 pounds using this plan. So in honoring of her big victory, I decided to make her my keto savory zucchini cakes.
We did a Facebook Live, where she was able to talk to about how the keto lifestyle plan has helped her live a more healthier way of living. It’s pretty fun, hilarious and educational, so check it out in my Facebook page under Lisa Washington.
Here’s the recipe. To find out more about to keto lifestyle Magic Pill on Netflix.
Keto Zucchini Cakes
Ingredients
• 1 pound zucchini
• 1 teaspoon Himalayan pink sea salt or regular sea salt or to taste
• 2 large eggs
• 1 1/2 tablespoon onions, diced and 11/2 tablespoons garlic, diced
• 1 1/2 teaspoon savory south seasoning by Hillari Moon or herbal garlic no salt seasoning
• 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/2 cup almond flour
• 1/4 cup coconut flour
• 1/4 cup grated Vegetarian Parmesan cheese, BelGioioso Cheese is Vegetarian
• olive oil for frying
Instructions:
1. Grate the zucchini on a box grater . Put the zucchini in a colander and sprinkle with the teaspoon of Himalayan pink sea salt or regular sea salt. Mix the zucchini gently to distribute the salt and let it sit for about 5 minutes. Squeeze the zucchini out with your hands and place into a medium sized mixing bowl.
2. Sauté the onions and garlic in a pan with a bit of olive oil. Remove from pan once the garlic is golden brown. Set aside to cool.
3. Add the eggs to the zucchini and the cooled onions and garlic mix together. In a small bowl, add the rest of the dry ingredients and stir together. Add them to the zucchini and mix thoroughly.
4. Heat a medium to large pan over medium – high heat. Pour in enough oil to completely cover the bottom surface of the pan. When it looks hot, stick the end of a wooden spoon into the oil and check for bubbles. If the bubbles are moving quickly, then the oil is hot enough.
5. Stir the zucchini mixture one more time and dip a 1/4 cup measuring cup into the batter, level off. Dump the batter into the pan and gently push it into a flat pancake shape with the back of a metal spatula/flipper. Cook for three minutes adjusting the heat up or down as needed, then flip, cooking for another three minutes. Add more oil to the pan as needed to prevent sticking.
6. Drain the zucchini cakes on a paper towel before serving.
