Zucchini "Crab" Cakes!

So what do you do with all your extra zucchini?! Tonight I made Zucchini "crab cakes" - but they don't have crab in them! 😳 I have a tried & true recipe I always used pre Whole 30 & Paleo lifestyle. Tonight was the first night trying to paleofied it. Lots of experimenting! But I think I have a winner! 

Zucchini "Crab" Cakes

2 cups grated zucchini

1/2 teaspoon Kosher salt

1 cup almond flour or breadcrumbs

1 egg

1/4 cup of minced onions

1/4 cup of chopped bell peppers

2 tbsp of melted butter or ghee

1 teaspoon Old Bay seasoning

2-3 tablespoon coconut flour (if using regular breadcrumbs you can skip this) 

salt & pepper to taste 

1/4 cup of oil (I used coconut oil) 

1/2 cup of flour (your choice) I used rice flour if I was in Whole 30 I'd do tapioca or coconut flour                      

Directions
1. Grate your zucchini on papertowels  and sprinkle salt over it to let it sweat - 15 minutes or so at least. Longer if you have the time. Squeeze it out the best you can after it sweats. 

2. After zucchini sweats add all

the remaining ingredients except flour & coconut oil. The mixture

 should start to come together. Add more almond flour or coconut flour if need be. (or breadcrumbs)

3. Start heating your oil on high and let the pan get very hot. 

4. Form patties & dredge in flour of choice on each side. 

5. Fry until brown on each side 4-5 minutes - adjust heat as necessary

These also freeze great! Just put some parchment paper between each patty!
