Serves 4 | Phase 3
Prep time: 20 minutes | Total time: 40 minutes
Ingredients
8 cups coarsely grated zucchini (you can also use the julienne setting on a mandoline)
3/4 cup almond flour
1/4 cup arrowroot or tapioca flour
1/4 cup roughly chopped fresh cilantro, plus more for topping
1/4 cup roughly chopped fresh parsley, plus more for topping
1/4 cup roughly chopped fresh basil, plus more for topping
3/4 teaspoon sea salt
1/2 teaspoon cumin
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper
5 eggs, divided
