Ingredients

• 2 medium zucchini
• 2 medium carrots
• 2 large eggs
• 0.5 cups all-purpose flour
• 0.25 cups parmesan cheese, grated
• 2 green onions, sliced
• 1 clove garlic, minced
• 0.5 teaspoons salt
• 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
• 0 olive oil spray

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

Grate the zucchini and carrots using a box grater. Place the grated vegetables in a clean kitchen towel or cheesecloth and squeeze out as much excess water as possible.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, combine the grated zucchini, grated carrots, eggs, flour, parmesan cheese, sliced green onions, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper. Mix until well combined.

Step 4

Scoop about 2 tablespoons of the mixture into your hands and shape it into a small patty. Place the patty onto the prepared baking sheet. Repeat with the remaining mixture, spacing the patties evenly on the sheet.

Step 5

Lightly spray the tops of the patties with olive oil spray to help them crisp up in the oven.

Step 6

Bake for 12-15 minutes, then carefully flip each fritter and bake for an additional 10 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy on both sides.

Step 7

Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes before serving. Serve warm with your favorite dipping sauce or a dollop of Greek yogurt.
