Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 medium zucchini
- 2 medium carrots
- 2 large eggs
- 0.5 cups all-purpose flour
- 0.25 cups parmesan cheese, grated
- 2 green onions, sliced
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
- olive oil spray
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Grate the zucchini and carrots using a box grater. Place the grated vegetables in a clean kitchen towel or cheesecloth and squeeze out as much excess water as possible.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the grated zucchini, grated carrots, eggs, flour, parmesan cheese, sliced green onions, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper. Mix until well combined.
Scoop about 2 tablespoons of the mixture into your hands and shape it into a small patty. Place the patty onto the prepared baking sheet. Repeat with the remaining mixture, spacing the patties evenly on the sheet.
Lightly spray the tops of the patties with olive oil spray to help them crisp up in the oven.
Bake for 12-15 minutes, then carefully flip each fritter and bake for an additional 10 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy on both sides.
Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes before serving. Serve warm with your favorite dipping sauce or a dollop of Greek yogurt.
