1 medium zucchini, grated
1 medium carrot, grated
1/2 cup shredded cheese (cheddar or mozzarella)
2 eggs
2 tablespoons chopped green onions
1/4 cup all-purpose flour or oat flour
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Salt, to taste
Olive oil, for cooking
Place the grated zucchini in a clean kitchen towel and squeeze out as much moisture as possible.
In a mixing bowl, combine the zucchini, carrot, shredded cheese, eggs, green onions, flour, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper.
Stir until everything is well combined and the batter holds together.
Heat a nonstick skillet over medium heat and drizzle in a bit of olive oil.
Scoop about 2 tablespoons of the mixture per fritter into the skillet, flattening slightly with a spatula.
Cook for 3–4 minutes per side, until golden brown and crispy.
Transfer to a plate lined with paper towels.
Serve warm, optionally topped with a dollop of Greek yogurt or sour cream.
For gluten-free fritters, use oat flour or a gluten-free all-purpose blend.
These reheat well and are great for meal prep—store in the fridge for up to 3 days.
Add fresh herbs like parsley or dill for extra flavor.
