Zucchini Cottage Cheese Fritters

56

These are some of my favorite meal prep zucchini fritters because I can enjoy them anytime and get that added bonus protein from the cottage cheese! Bonus: they’re low in calories and carbs!

Its very important to ring out the zucchini shreds as best you can. You can make these gluten free by removing the breadcrumbs and adding almond flour instead.
