Garden Vegetable Fritters Recipe

Prep Time 5 minutes
Cook Time 10 minutes
Total Time 15 minutes

Ingredients

  • 2 cups shredded zucchini
  • 2 cups shredded carrots
  • 2/3 cup flour
  • 1/3 cup chopped scallions
  • 2 large eggs lightly beaten
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 2 Tablespoons olive oil
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • 1/8 teaspoon pepper

Optional

  • Sour cream or plain Greek yogurt for dipping.

Instructions

  • Place the shredded zucchini in a strainer over a bowl. Gently press down to squeeze out the excess liquid.
  • In a medium bowl, add the strained shredded zucchini, shredded carrots, flour, scallions, eggs, garlic, and salt and pepper. Stir well to incorporate all ingredients.
  • Place paper towels over a large plate, and set aside.
  • Add the olive oil to a large sauté pan on medium-high heat. Once the oil is shining in the pan, add about ¼ cup of the mixture into the pan, flattening it just a bit with your fingers. Continue adding the mixture as stated, spacing the fritters about one inch apart.
  • Allow the fritters to cook for approximately three minutes, and then flip to cook the other side for one to two minutes or until golden brown.
  • Place the fritters on the prepared plate to allow the excess grease to drip off.
  • Season with additional salt and pepper if desired.
  • Continue this process until all of the vegetable mixture is used.

Optional

  • Serve with a dollop of sour cream or plain Greek yogurt.
