Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups grated zucchini (about 2 medium), moisture squeezed out
- 1 cup grated carrots (about 2 medium), moisture squeezed out
- 1 cup grated potato (about 1 large), moisture squeezed out
- ½ cup all-purpose flour
- 2 large eggs, lightly beaten
- ¼ cup finely chopped fresh parsley or chives
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon onion powder
- ½ teaspoon salt, plus more for seasoning
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- ½ cup neutral oil (vegetable, canola, or grapeseed) for frying
Instructions
- 1. Prepare Vegetables: Grate zucchini, carrots, and potato. Place all grated vegetables in a clean kitchen towel and squeeze out as much moisture as possible. This step is crucial for crispy fritters.
- 2. Mix Batter: In a large bowl, combine the well-drained vegetables with all-purpose flour, beaten eggs, chopped parsley or chives, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix until just combined.
- 3. Heat Oil: Heat ½ inch of neutral oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering (around 350-375°F / 175-190°C).
- 4. Fry Fritters: Scoop about 2 tablespoons of mixture per fritter and flatten into 3-inch discs. Carefully place in hot oil, taking care not to crowd the pan. Fry for 3-5 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Work in batches.
- 5. Drain & Serve: Remove fritters with a slotted spatula and place on a wire rack set over paper towels to drain. Sprinkle with additional salt immediately. Serve hot with your favorite dipping sauce.
