Ingredients

  • 3 cups shredded zucchini
  • ¾ teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup shredded carrots
  • 2 cloves garlic pressed
  • 2 large eggs lightly beaten
  • 1/3 cup sliced scallions green and white parts
  • 2/3 cup self-rising flour or substitute all-purpose flour if desired
  • 2-3 tablespoons olive oil
  • Additional salt and pepper to taste
  • Creamy jalapeño sauce separate recipe

Instructions

  • Sprinkle salt over shredded zucchini in a colander, mix lightly to blend. Let the zucchini sit for 30 minutes. Press and squeeze the zucchini to remove as much water as possible.
  • In a medium mixing bowl, mix together the zucchini, carrots, garlic, scallions, and eggs. Blend in the flour.
  • Preheat a large skillet over medium-high heat for 3 minutes or until hot. Add the olive oil.
  • Using a ¼ cup measure, drop the vegetable mixture onto the hot skillet. Flatten the veggie mixture to form the fritters.
  • Cook 3-4 minutes until the bottom is browned and crispy, then flip each fritter and cook another 3-4 minutes.
  • Place the fritters on a paper towel lined plate to drain away excess oil. Season with salt and pepper if desired.
  • Optionally, place the fritters on a baking sheet and bake in a 400-degree oven for 5 minutes. This will help make sure the fritters are cooked all the way through.
  • Serve with creamy jalapeño sauce, sour cream, yogurt, or tzatziki sauce.
