• Yields: 12 fritters
• Serves: 4

ingredients

• 2 cups zucchini, shredded
• 2 cups carrots, shredded
• 2 garlic cloves, minced
• 2⁄3 cup all-purpose flour
• 2 large eggs, lightly beaten
• 1⁄3 cup green onion, sliced
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1⁄2 cup sour cream or 1/2 cup yogurt, for serving

directions

1. Place the shredded zucchini in a colander and sprinkle it lightly with salt. Let the zucchini sit for 10 minutes then using your hands, squeeze out as much liquid as possible.
2. Transfer the zucchini to a large bowl then add the carrots, garlic, flour, eggs, scallions, 1/4 teaspoon salt and 1/8 teaspoon pepper. Stir the mixture until it is combined.
3. Line a plate with paper towels. Place a large sauté pan over medium-high heat and add the olive oil. Once the oil is shimmering, scoop 3-tablespoon mounds of the vegetable mixture into the pan, flattening the mounds slightly and spacing them at least 1 inch apart.
4. Cook the fritters for 2 to 3 minutes then flip them once and continue cooking them an additional 1 to 2 minutes until they’re golden brown and crispy. Transfer the fritters to the paper towel-lined plate, season them with salt and repeat the cooking process with the remaining mixture.
5. Serve the fritters immediately topped with sour cream or yogurt.
