Place them in a pot with enough water to cover and cook until soft, about 15-20 minutes. Drain and set aside to cool.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Prepare the Zucchini:<\/strong>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Grate 1 medium zucchini and add a generous pinch of salt. Let it sit for 10 minutes to draw out excess moisture. After 10 minutes, use a clean kitchen towel or cheesecloth to squeeze out the excess water from the zucchini.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Saut\u00e9 the Onion and Garlic:<\/strong>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Heat some oil in a pan over medium heat. Add 1 finely chopped medium onion and saut\u00e9 until translucent, about 5 minutes. Add 1 minced clove of garlic and saut\u00e9 for another minute. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Mix the Ingredients:<\/strong>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>In a large bowl, combine the cooked yellow lentils, drained zucchini, saut\u00e9ed onion and garlic, 6-8 finely chopped sun-dried tomatoes, and 40 g finely chopped olives. Mix well.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Add the Almond Flour and Seasoning:<\/strong>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Add 85 g of almond flour to the mixture. Season with salt, black pepper, and chili flakes to taste. Mix until all ingredients are well combined.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Form the Fritters:<\/strong>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Take small portions of the mixture and form them into oval shapes, about the size of a large walnut.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Fry the Fritters:<\/strong>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Heat oil in a frying pan over medium-high heat. Fry the fritters in batches until they are golden and crispy on both sides, about 3-4 minutes per side. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Serve:<\/strong>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Serve the fritters warm, as a snack or a side dish. Enjoy with your favorite dipping sauce or a fresh salad.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Serving Suggestions:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Serve with a side of Greek yogurt or a tahini dipping sauce.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Pair with a fresh green salad for a light and nutritious meal.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Cooking Tips:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Ensure the oil is hot enough before frying to prevent the fritters from absorbing too much oil.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>For a gluten-free version, ensure that all ingredients used are certified gluten-free.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Nutritional Benefits:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Yellow Lentils:<\/strong>\u00a0High in protein and fiber, supporting muscle repair and digestion.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Zucchini:<\/strong>\u00a0Low in calories and high in vitamins and minerals.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Almond Flour:<\/strong>\u00a0Provides healthy fats and protein.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Dietary Information:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Gluten-free (ensure all ingredients are certified gluten-free).<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Vegetarian.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Storage Tips:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Store any leftover fritters in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Reheat in a pan or oven to regain crispiness.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Why You\u2019ll Love This Recipe:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>These fritters are a perfect combination of flavors and textures.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>They are easy to make and packed with nutrients.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Ideal for a healthy snack or a light meal.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Conclusion:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Enjoy the delicious and nutritious Yellow Lentil and Zucchini Fritters with Sun-Dried Tomatoes and Olives.
