Ingredients
Scale
- 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
