Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup grated zucchini
- 1 cup grated carrots
- 1/2 cup chopped onion
- 1 cup breadcrumbs
- 1/2 cup grated cheese (optional)
- 2 eggs
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp onion powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Oil for frying
Instructions
- Prepare the vegetables: In a large bowl, combine the grated zucchini, grated carrots, chopped onion, and breadcrumbs. If you’re adding cheese, now’s the time!
- Combine the wet mixture: In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper until fully blended.
- Mix everything together: Pour the egg mixture into the vegetable mixture and stir with enthusiasm until everything is well incorporated.
- Heat the pan: Heat a generous amount of oil in a frying pan over medium heat.
- Scoop and flatten: Using a spoon or a small ice cream scoop, take spoonfuls of the mixture and gently place them in the pan. Flatten them slightly.
- Fry until golden: Fry each fritter for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until they turn a beautiful golden-brown color.
- Drain and serve: Once cooked, remove from the pan and let them drain on paper towels to absorb excess oil. Serve warm.
Notes
Consider using fresh vegetables for the best flavor. Avoid overcrowding the pan while frying to maintain crispiness.
