How to make zucchini carrot fritters.
Begin by grating the zucchini and carrots using the larger holes on the grater.
Next, place the grated zucchini and carrots onto a kitchen towel or cheesecloth. Sprinkle some salt over them and allow them to sit for about 5 minutes.
After the wait, wrap the mixture in the towel and squeeze out as much liquid as you can. This step is crucial as it determines the crispiness of your fritters.
Transfer the squeezed zucchini and carrots into a mixing bowl. Add in Parmesan cheese, chopped green onions, minced garlic, fresh parsley, and dill. Also, include the eggs, flour, breadcrumbs, and a bit of salt and pepper. Mix everything thoroughly until it’s well combined.
How to cook the fritters
Heat up a nonstick skillet over medium heat. Pour in a generous amount of olive oil, enough to coat the bottom of the pan.
Using a spoon, carefully drop portions of the fritter batter into the skillet. With the back of the spoon or a spatula, gently flatten each mound. This helps them cook evenly.
Allow the fritters to cook for approximately 3 to 4 minutes on one side, or until they turn a beautiful golden hue and achieve a delightful crispiness.
Once the first side is perfectly cooked, gently flip each fritter using a spatula. Continue cooking for an additional 3 minutes on the other side. This ensures a uniform crispness and a lovely golden color.
Once fully cooked, transfer the fritters onto a plate lined with paper towels. This helps absorb any excess oil, ensuring they’re light and delicious.
These delectable fritters pair wonderfully with either Tzatziki sauce or a garlic-infused sour cream. Choose your favorite, and enjoy this delightful dish!
