Low-Carb Zucchini Tots 

Ingredients

1 medium zucchini (about 250–300 g)
1 whole egg + 1 egg white (or 2 whole eggs if you don't want half an egg left over)
½ cup fine almond flour
½ cup finely shredded Pecorino Romano
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp onion powder
1 tsp dried rosemary
½ tsp baking powder (optional but recommended)
½ tsp kosher salt (you may not need more because the Pecorino is salty)

Method

Preheat air fryer to 390°F.
Grate the zucchini.
Salt it lightly and let it sit for 20 minutes.
Squeeze it as dry as you possibly can (your potato ricer is perfect for this!).
Mix everything together.
Let the mixture rest 5 minutes so the almond flour absorbs moisture.
Scoop about 1½ tablespoons each.
Flatten them slightly into little patties instead of balls.
Lightly spray with avocado oil if you use it.
Air fry 8 minutes, flip, then cook another 4–6 minutes until deeply golden.

If the mixture is...

Too wet: add another tablespoon of almond flour.
Too dry: add a tablespoon of beaten egg.
