Ingredients:
- 2 cups grated zucchini
- 1 large carrot, grated
- 1 small onion, finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
- ½ cup all-purpose flour
- 1 large egg, beaten
- ¼ cup chopped fresh parsley
- ¼ cup chopped fresh dill
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- Olive oil, for frying
Instructions:
- Prepare the Vegetables: Place the grated zucchini in a clean kitchen towel and squeeze out as much liquid as possible. This helps keep the fritters crispy.
- Mix the Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the squeezed zucchini, grated carrot, chopped onion, minced garlic, Parmesan cheese, flour, beaten egg, parsley, and dill. Season with salt and pepper, then mix well until everything is evenly combined.
- Form the Fritters: Take small portions of the mixture and shape them into round patties. Repeat until all the mixture is used.
- Heat the Oil: Pour a generous amount of olive oil into a large skillet and heat it over medium-high heat.
- Fry the Fritters: Carefully place the patties in the hot oil and fry for about 3-4 minutes per side, or until they turn golden brown and crispy. Cook in batches if needed to avoid overcrowding.
- Drain and Serve: Transfer the cooked fritters to a paper towel-lined plate to remove excess oil. Serve warm with your favorite dip, such as sour cream, tzatziki, or a spicy yogurt sauce.
