These crispy vegetable fritters are a delicious and healthy snack or side dish, perfect for any time of the day. Made with a combination of grated zucchini, carrots, eggs, and green onions, these fritters are pan-fried to golden perfection.

Ingredients

• 1 medium zucchini, grated
• 1 medium carrot, grated
• 2 large eggs
• 1/4 cup green onions, finely chopped
• 1/2 cup shredded cheese (optional for extra flavor)
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 1/4 cup flour or breadcrumbs (for binding, optional)
• Oil for frying

Instructions

1. Prepare the Vegetables:
   • Grate the zucchini and carrot, then place them in a bowl. If the zucchini is too watery, gently squeeze out some of the excess moisture using a clean kitchen towel.
2. Mix the Ingredients:
   • Add the eggs, chopped green onions, and shredded cheese (if using) to the grated vegetables. Season with salt and pepper, and mix well.
   • If the mixture is too wet, add a bit of flour or breadcrumbs to help bind it together.
3. Shape and Fry:
   • Heat a small amount of oil in a non-stick pan over medium heat. Shape the vegetable mixture into small, oval patties or sticks using your hands.
   • Fry the patties in the hot oil for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and crispy.
4. Serve:
   • Remove the fritters from the pan and drain them on a paper towel to remove any excess oil. Serve hot with your favorite dipping sauce.
