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

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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.
