Ingredients

  • 2 medium zucchinis, grated
  • 2 large carrots, grated
  • 2 eggs
  • 1/2 cup whole wheat flour (or almond flour for a low-carb option)
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese (optional for extra flavor)
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt (adjust to taste)
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley or dill, chopped (optional)
  • Vegetable oil or olive oil, for frying

Instructions

  1. Prepare the veggies: Grate the zucchinis and carrots. Place the grated zucchini in a clean kitchen towel and squeeze out as much moisture as possible. This step ensures your fritters are crispy.
  2. Mix the batter: In a large bowl, combine the grated zucchini, carrots, eggs, flour, Parmesan cheese, salt, pepper, and optional parsley or dill. Stir until the mixture is well-combined.
  3. Heat the oil: Add about 1/4 inch of vegetable oil to a large skillet and heat over medium heat.
  4. Form the fritters: Scoop spoonfuls of the batter into the hot skillet. Flatten slightly with the back of a spoon. Fry each fritter for 2–3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and crispy.
  5. Drain and serve: Transfer the fritters to a plate lined with paper towels to remove excess oil. Serve warm with your favorite dipping sauce.

Serving Suggestions

  • Dipping Sauces: Pair these fritters with sour cream, Greek yogurt, or a tangy mustard dip.
  • Sides: Serve alongside a fresh salad or scrambled eggs for a wholesome breakfast.
  • Toppings: Add a sprinkle of fresh herbs or a dollop of creamy hummus on top.

Tips for Perfect Fritters

  • Drain the Zucchini: Squeezing out moisture is essential for achieving crispy fritters. Don’t skip this step!
  • Customize the Flavor: Add spices like garlic powder, paprika, or cumin for a flavor twist.
  • Adjust Thickness: Thicker fritters will be soft inside, while thinner fritters are crispier. Adjust to your liking.
