Healthy Zucchini Fritters
with Chipotle dipping sauce

Ingredients:

- 2 zucchinis

- 2 eggs

- 1 small onion

- 1 tsp ground flax

- 1 tsp coconut flour

- Spices (salt, pepper, cayenne, cumin, Italian.. whatever you like!)
- 1 TBSP oil

Chipotle dipping sauce:
- 2 TBSP 0% Greek yogurt
- dash of chipotle powder (or puree from a can)
*If you don't have chipotle.. try Cayenne, or curry powder!

- Grate Zucchinis and onion in Food processor (or by hand with a cheese grater).  Add eggs, flax, coconut flour and spices and herbs.  Mix together.

Make into balls and squeeze access liquid. Makes approx 12 fritters.

Heat oil in a pan on medium and add fritters (should sizzle.)  Adjust temperature so the fritters turn golden but do not burn.  Approximately 5 minutes per side.

Remove cooked Fritters and place on a plate in the oven to keep warm.  These make an excellent side dish, base for eggs Benny, or morning snack!
