Healthy: Made with fresh veggies and minimal oil.
🥕 Ingredients:
2 medium zucchinis (grated)
1 large carrot (grated)
1 small onion (grated or finely chopped)
2 eggs
1/2 cup breadcrumbs or oat flour for a gluten-free option
2–3 tbsp chopped parsley (or cilantro)
Salt and pepper to taste
Olive oil for frying
Optional: A pinch of garlic powder, paprika, or chili flakes for extra flavor.
🥄 Instructions:
Prepare the Veggies:
Grate zucchini and carrot. Squeeze out excess water using a clean kitchen towel or paper towels. This step is crucial for crispy fritters!
Mix Ingredients:
In a bowl, combine grated zucchini, carrot, onion, eggs, breadcrumbs, parsley, salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined. If the mixture is too wet, add a bit more breadcrumbs.
Shape the Fritters:
Scoop about 2 tablespoons of the mixture and shape into patties.
Cook:
Heat olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat.
Fry patties for 3–4 minutes on each side or until golden brown and crispy.
Remove and place on paper towels to absorb excess oil.
Serve:
Enjoy warm with a side of Greek yogurt, tzatziki, or a simple garlic mayo dip!
🌟 Tips for Perfect Fritters:
Drain the Veggies: Removing moisture is key for crispiness.
Even Frying: Don’t overcrowd the pan to ensure even cooking.
Baking Option: Bake at 400°F (200°C) for 20 minutes, flipping halfway.
