Ingredients

  • 1 lb Carrots
  • 1 lb Zucchini or 2 medium
  • 1/4 cup Flour
  • 1/4 cup finely shredded Asagio cheese packed down (Parmesan ok too)
  • 1 tsp sea salt divided in half
  • 1 tsp granulated garlic
  • 1/2 tsp ground black pepper
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • 2 Eggs lightly whisked
  • extra virgin olive oil for greasing griddle or pans

Instructions

  • Wash and trim ends off zucchini and carrots
  • Shred zucchini and carrots using medium shredding disk of food processor
  • Place shredded zucchini and carrot in large colander with 1/2 tsp salt, stir and let sit and drain for at least 10 minutes
  • While the vegetables are draining, mix together in a small bowl 1/2 tsp salt through paprika
  • If using griddle, start heating to 350 degrees. If using pans, heat to medium high and adjust as needed during cooking
  • Once the vegetables have finished draining squeeze out as much excess water as possible using a dish towel or cheese cloth.
  • Add squeezed out vegetables to medium mixing bowl. Add flour, asagio cheese along with spice mixture along and eggs and mix until well combined.
  • Heat oven to 200 degrees to keep fritters warm after cooking
  • Grease griddle or pans with just enough olive oil to coat top
  • Use a 1/8 measuring cup to scoop mixture onto heated griddle or pans
  • After laying out your scoops, go back and gently smash down scoops with a spatula gently watching out for sticking mixture (I gently smash and tap the spatula to help release it)
  • Cook about 4 minutes per side (Or medium brown on each side)
  • After cooking fritters transfer to cookie sheet lined with aluminum foil in oven (Cover with towel or aluminum foil)
  • Continue cooking till all the mixture is gone
  • I serve these with a lemon chive yogurt sauce drizzled on top or on the side
