Enjoy these crispy and delicious veggie fritters, perfect for a tasty snack or side!
What you'll need:
- 2 cups shredded zucchini
- 2 cups shredded carrots
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2/3 cup plain flour
- 2 large eggs, lightly beaten
- 1/3 cup sliced green onions (green and white parts)
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- sour cream or yoghurt, for serving
How you'll make it:
- Place the shredded zucchini in a colander and sprinkle lightly with salt. Let it sit for 10 minutes, then squeeze out as much liquid as possible.
- Transfer the zucchini to a large bowl, then add the carrots, garlic, flour, eggs, green onions, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/8 teaspoon pepper. Stir until combined.
- Line a plate with paper towels. Heat the olive oil in a large sauté pan over medium-high heat. Once simmering, scoop 3-tablespoon mounds of the vegetable mixture into the pan, flattening them slightly and spacing them at least 2.5 cm apart.
- Cook the fritters for 2-3 minutes, then flip and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, until golden brown and crispy. Transfer to the paper towel-lined plate, season with salt, and repeat with the remaining mixture.
- Serve the fritters immediately, topped with sour cream or yoghurt.
