Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 medium Zucchini
- 1 large Carrot
- 1 medium Sweet potato
- 3 stalks Green onions
- 2 cloves Garlic
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley
- 0.5 cup All-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 large Eggs
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
Instructions
Grate the zucchinis, carrot, and sweet potato using a box grater. Place the grated vegetables in a clean dish towel or cheesecloth and squeeze out as much liquid as possible.
Finely chop the green onions and garlic cloves. Roughly chop the fresh parsley.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the grated vegetables, green onions, garlic, and parsley. Mix thoroughly.
In a separate small mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and black pepper.
Add the flour mixture to the vegetables and stir until well combined.
Beat the eggs in a small bowl and pour them into the vegetable mixture. Stir until the mixture is cohesive and the ingredients are well distributed.
Heat olive oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat.
Scoop about 1/4 cup of the vegetable mixture for each fritter and flatten them slightly with a spatula in the skillet.
Cook fritters for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through.
Transfer the cooked fritters to a paper towel-lined plate to absorb any excess oil.
Serve the fritters warm, optionally with a low sodium yogurt dip or fresh lemon wedges.
