    Is Zucchini Keto?

    Zucchini is a popular summer crop with a wide range of healthy uses. It's a great way to get more vegetables into your diet while still being tasty.

    But is zucchini low-carb? In case you haven't already guessed, yes, it is!

    Even though it does contain carbohydrates, it is relatively low in net carbs. It is one of the best keto-friendly vegetables to include in your ketogenic diet meal plan.

    Net Carbs in Zucchini

    A cup serving of raw zucchini has 3.9 grams of total carbs and 1.3 grams fiber. So the total net carbs in zucchini are only 2.6 grams per cup.

    The Benefits of Zucchini

    Zucchini is a very healthy vegetable that is packed with nutrients. It contains a significant amount of vitamins C, K, B6, riboflavin, and folate, as well as minerals manganese and potassium. [1]

    Some other reasons you'll want to add it to your diet are:

    1. Improves digestion
    2. Slows down aging
    3. Lowers blood sugar levels
    4. Improves heart health and circulation
    5. Improves eye health
    6. Boosts energy
    7. Aids weight loss

    How To Make A Hash Brown Zucchini Style

    The Ingredients

    As we mentioned earlier, this recipe is really easy to make and only requires 6 simple ingredients. For the full amounts, check the recipe card below. You'll need the following:

    • Zucchini
    • Eggs
    • Parmesan cheese
    • Garlic
    • Butter
    • Salt

    The Directions

    Bowl of zucchini next to keto hash browns

    Start by shredding around 1.5 pounds or 4 cups of zucchini into a medium bowl.

    Add the salt and let it sit for 15 minutes to help remove some of the water content.

    Now, squeeze the excess water out of the zucchini mixture with your hands.

    Add the eggs, parmesan cheese, and minced garlic (or garlic powder).

    Thoroughly combine everything with your hands until it reaches a batter-like consistency.

    Take a large skillet and add 2 tablespoons of butter over medium-high heat.

    Take 2 tablespoons of the zucchini mixture and flatten it into the skillet to form a patty. Fill the skillet with as many patties as possible without overcrowding them, and you can always make them in batches.

    Cook the low-carb hash browns until they're golden on both sides, turning once during cooking. This should take around 6-8 minutes, but everyone's skillet and cooktop are different.

    Repeat in batches until you've used the entire mixture. You may need to add more butter to the skillet, which is why the recipe calls for 4 tablespoons.

    Nutritional Information

    As mentioned above, zucchini hash browns contain nutrients and relatively low carbs. You can check the recipe card below for a complete nutrition breakdown, but here are the highlights:

    • 196 total calories
    • 16 grams of fat
    • 1.9 grams of fiber

        Hi Karen, yes you can definitely freeze them! Just put them in freezer-proof bags and they should keep for up to 6 months.
