3 Easy Keto Zucchini Recipes
Lately my kitchen has been overflowing with Zucchini. At the beginning of the week I had 5 of the nutritious low carb vegetable in my fridge, so I put them to good use in these 3 easy keto zucchini recipes.
1. Cheesy Keto Zucchini Fritters
I started my week by making cheesy zucchini fritters. These are so quick and simple to put together. You’ll need:
- 1 Zucchini
- 1 Egg
- 1-2 Tablespoons Coconut Flour
- 1-2 Tablespoons Parmesan
- Minced Garlic
- Pinch of Salt
Grate the zucchini into a bowl and then add the egg, coconut flour, parmesan, garlic and salt. Stir to combine well.
Heat coconut oil or butter in a frying pan and, when hot, drop 1-2 tablespoons of the mixture per fritter.
Cook until golden and cooked through on both sides, flipping half way through cooking.
Move to a plate and serve with sour cream, tomato sauce, mayo or your sauce of choice.
2. Zucchini Casserole
For this cheesy zucchini casserole, gratin or bake, you’ll need:
- 2 Zucchini
- 1/3 Cup Cream
- 1/3 Cup Sour Cream
- 2/3 Cup Grated Cheese
Preheat the oven to 180C/350F and get out an over proof dish. Chop the zucchini into pieces and place into the oven dish.
Pour over the cream and sour cream and toss well to combine.
Add a 1/3 of a cup of the grated cheese and stir through so the cheese is well incorporated.
Top the dish with the other 1/3 cup of cheese, or more, to cover your zucchini with cheese to your liking.
Place in the preheated oven for 20 to 25 minutes or until the zucchini casserole is cooked and the cheesy topping is golden.
3. Zucchini Alfredo Recipe
All you need is a spiralizer to turn a zucchini into zucchini noodles, or zoodles.
I like to refer to this dish as 2 minute zoodles because it all comes together in less than 2 short minutes!
Start by turning a zucchini or two into zucchini noodles with your spiralizer.
Then, get all of the other ingredients out and ready for your alfredo sauce:
- Cream
- Garlic
- Parmesan
Heat coconut oil or butter in a frying pan. When hot, add the zucchini noodles. Cook for barely a minute to heat through.
Then, pour over as much cream as you’d like and crush over a garlic clove or two.
Allow to bubble for 30 seconds to a minute, add the parmesan and serve.
As you can see, this dish comes together really quickly and if you’d like to add more protein to it, you can add a small tin of tuna or any leftover, cooked chicken or meat you have lurking in your fridge.
So those are my go to 3 easy keto zucchini recipes to enjoy for quick low carb meals.
