Cuisine: American
Servings: 4
- 1 Large Zucchini
- 1 Small Sweet Potato peeled
- 1 Medium Carrot peeled
- ¼ Cup Finely chopped green onion
- 3 Garlic Cloves minced
- 2-3 Tbsp Chopped Parsley
- ½ Tsp Salt, or to taste
- ¼ Tsp Ground Pepper or to taste
- 2 Large Eggs
- ½ Cup Rice Flour
- ¼ Cup Ground Parmesan Cheese
- ¼ Cup Olive or Avocado oil
The easiest way to prep the veggies is by using your food processor and set up the small shredding blade. Alternatively, you can use a medium-small grater. The veggies need to be grated in small bits so they can cook evenly.
Start by grating the zucchini, then squeeze as much water as you can and place them in a large bowl.
Continue to shred the sweet potato and carrot and add it to the bowl. Stir in the remaining ingredients: green onion, garlic, parsley, salt, pepper, eggs, rice flour, and cheese. Using your hands or a large spoon, mix thoroughly until well combined.
Heat oil in a large nonstick pan over medium heat. Add about one spoonful of mixture into the pan, and gently press it down to create a round shape fritter.
Cook about 4 fritters at a time, for about 3-4 minutes per side. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate until finished.
Serve with your favorite dip and enjoy!
- Flour: use any flour you have on hand. Gluten-free or oat flour will be good substitutes. You may also use almond flour but this will change how moist the fritters will be.
- Tip: squeeze the water out of the veggies to remove any extra liquids from the veggies.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container and reheat in the microwave when ready to serve.
- You may freeze cooked fritters for up to 3 months.
- Replace fresh garlic with 1 tablespoon of garlic powder.
