🥕🥒 Crispy Zucchini Carrot Fritters

Makes: 8–10 fritters | Prep: 15 min | Cook: 10 min

Ingredients

• 2 medium zucchini, grated
• 2 medium carrots, peeled and grated
• 2 large eggs, beaten
• ½ cup all-purpose flour or breadcrumbs
• ¼ cup grated Parmesan, optional
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• ½ tsp garlic powder
• ½ tsp onion powder
• ½ tsp salt
• ¼ tsp black pepper
• 2–3 tbsp olive or vegetable oil

Method

1. Squeeze the zucchini: Place grated zucchini in a clean kitchen towel and squeeze out as much liquid as possible. This is the key to crispy fritters.
2. Make the mixture: Combine zucchini, carrots, eggs, flour, Parmesan, garlic, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Mix until a thick batter forms.
3. Heat the oil: Heat 2 tbsp oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
4. Cook: Scoop about ¼ cup of mixture into the pan for each fritter. Flatten gently with a spatula and cook for 3–4 minutes per side, until golden and crisp.
5. Drain: Transfer to a paper-towel-lined plate.
6. Serve warm with sour cream, Greek yogurt, or garlic dip. 😋
