Vegetable Fritters

Ingredients

1 cup grated zucchini

1/2 cup finely chopped spinach

1/4 cup finely chopped onion

1/4 cup all-purpose flour

1 cup grated carrot

1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese

1 egg, beaten

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/4 teaspoon black pepper

1/4 teaspoon garlic powder

1/4 teaspoon paprika

2 tablespoons olive oil (for frying)

Instructions

1. Prepare the Vegetables:

• Grate the zucchini and carrot.
• Finely chop the spinach and onion.

1. Remove Excess Moisture:

• Place the grated zucchini and carrot in a clean kitchen towel and squeeze out as much excess water as possible. This helps to make the fritters crispy.

1. Mix the Ingredients:

• In a large bowl, combine the grated zucchini, grated carrot, chopped spinach, chopped onion, flour, Parmesan cheese, beaten egg, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika. Mix until well combined.

1. Form the Fritters:

• Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
• Scoop about 2 tablespoons of the mixture and form it into a patty. Place it in the skillet. Repeat with the remaining mixture, making sure not to overcrowd the pan.

1. Cook the Fritters:

• Cook the fritters for about 3-4 minutes on each side or until they are golden brown and crispy.
• Transfer the cooked fritters to a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.

1. Serve:

• Serve the vegetable fritters hot with your favorite dipping sauce, such as sour cream, tzatziki, or a simple yogurt dip.

Enjoy!
