Ingredients
- 1 medium zucchini (about 1 cup grated, thoroughly squeezed dry)
- 1 cup almond flour
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon gluten-free baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/4 teaspoon sea salt
- 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley (optional)
Instructions
-
Grate the zucchini using a box grater and place it in a clean kitchen towel. Squeeze firmly to remove as much excess moisture as possible to avoid soggy biscuits.
-
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the almond flour, grated Parmesan, baking powder, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper until evenly combined.
-
Add the eggs and mix thoroughly to form a thick batter.
-
Fold in the grated and dried zucchini and the chopped parsley if using, ensuring the batter is evenly mixed.
-
Preheat your air fryer to 350°F (175°C) for 3 minutes.
-
Line the air fryer basket with perforated parchment paper or lightly grease it to prevent sticking.
-
Scoop about 3 tablespoons of batter per biscuit onto the basket, shaping them into rounds about 2-3 inches in diameter and 1/2 inch thick. You should get 6 biscuits.
-
Air fry the biscuits at 350°F (175°C) for 14-15 minutes, flipping halfway through for even browning.
-
The biscuits should be golden brown and firm to the touch when done.
-
Remove from the air fryer and let cool for 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy warm as a savory breakfast or snack.
Recipe guidance
Squeeze grated zucchini thoroughly and leave space between biscuits. Add perforated parchment only after preheating and keep it weighted by the food.
