Ingredients
Scale
- 1 zucchini, grated
- 1 carrot, grated
- 1 potato, grated
- 4 tablespoons oatmeal
- 100 grams cheese, grated (cheddar or any cheese of your choice)
- Fresh parsley, chopped (2 tablespoons)
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- Ground black pepper to taste
Instructions
- Prepare the Veggies: Grate the zucchini, carrot, and potato using a box grater. Place them in a clean kitchen towel and squeeze out any excess moisture.
- Mix the Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the grated vegetables with oatmeal, grated cheese, minced garlic, fresh parsley, and ground black pepper. Mix well to ensure all ingredients are evenly distributed.
- Form the Fritters: Heat a non-stick pan over medium heat and lightly coat with oil. Shape the mixture into small patties using your hands and place them into the pan.
- Cook the Fritters: Fry the fritters for about 3-4 minutes per side, or until they are golden brown and crispy. Be sure to flip them gently so they don’t break apart.
- Serve: Once cooked, transfer the fritters to a paper towel to remove excess oil. Serve them warm with your favorite dipping sauce, or enjoy them on their own as a light meal.
Notes
- Storage: These fritters are best eaten fresh, but they can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat them in a skillet to maintain their crispy texture.
- Dips: Serve with a variety of dips such as sour cream, tzatziki, or a tangy yogurt-based sauce for an extra burst of flavor.
- Customizations: Feel free to add chopped onions, bell peppers, or even a dash of cayenne pepper to the mix for added flavor. You can also use any cheese of your choice depending on your preference.
