Vegetable Fritters

Prep Time 15 minutes
Cook Time 15 minutes
Total Time 30 minutes
Servings 4 servings

Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups zucchini, grated
  • 1 cup carrots, grated
  • ¾ cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 large eggs, beaten
  • ¼ cup green onions, chopped
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • ½ teaspoon baking powder
  • ¼ cup vegetable oil for frying

Instructions
 

  • Place the grated zucchini in a clean kitchen towel or cheesecloth and squeeze out as much excess moisture as possible. Set aside in a large mixing bowl.
  • Add the grated carrots and chopped green onions to the bowl with the zucchini. Mix the vegetables together until evenly distributed.
  • In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, garlic powder, salt, black pepper, and baking powder.
  • Add the beaten eggs to the vegetable mixture and stir to combine. Then add the dry ingredients and mix until just combined.
  • Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering.
  • Scoop about 1/4 cup of the mixture and form it into a patty. Place in the hot oil and flatten slightly with a spatula. Cook in batches to avoid overcrowding.
  • Fry the fritters for 3-4 minutes on the first side until golden brown. Flip carefully and cook for another 3-4 minutes on the second side.
  • Transfer the cooked fritters to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil. Serve immediately while hot and crispy.

Notes

For best results, squeeze all excess moisture from zucchini. Fritters can be frozen for up to 3 months. Reheat in oven at 350°F for best texture.
