Ingredients

• 2 medium-sized Zucchini
• 2 medium-sized Carrot
• 1 cup All-purpose flour
• 1 large Egg
• 2 stalks Green onion
• 2 cloves Garlic
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
• 3 tablespoons Olive oil

Directions

Step 1

Grate the zucchini and carrots using a box grater. Transfer them to a clean kitchen towel and squeeze out as much excess liquid as possible.

Step 2

Finely chop the green onions and mince the garlic cloves.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, combine the grated zucchini, grated carrots, green onions, and garlic.

Step 4

Add the all-purpose flour, egg, salt, black pepper, and paprika to the vegetable mixture. Stir until well combined and a thick batter forms.

Step 5

Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.

Step 6

Scoop about 2 tablespoons of the batter per fritter and drop into the skillet. Flatten slightly with the back of a spoon to shape into a patty.

Step 7

Cook the fritters for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy. Work in batches, adding more olive oil as needed between batches.

Step 8

Transfer the cooked fritters to a plate lined with paper towels to absorb excess oil.

Step 9

Serve the vegetable fritters warm with your favorite dipping sauce or a dollop of sour cream.
