Ingredients
  

  • 1 zucchini
  • 2 potatoes
  • 1 carrot
  • 100 g mozzarella cheese grated
  • A small bunch of chives finely chopped
  • 2 eggs
  • Salt to taste
  • Black pepper to taste
  • 1 clove of garlic minced
  • 2 tablespoons oatmeal
  • Vegetable fat for frying

Method
 

  1. Prepare the Vegetables: Peel and grate the potatoes and carrot. Grate the zucchini as well, and then squeeze out the excess moisture from all the vegetables using a clean towel or paper towels.
  2. Combine the Ingredients: In a large bowl, mix the grated vegetables with the eggs, mozzarella cheese, chopped chives, minced garlic, oatmeal, salt, and black pepper. Stir everything together until well combined.
  3. Shape and Cook the Fritters: Heat vegetable fat in a skillet over medium heat. Shape the mixture into small fritters using your hands or a spoon. Gently flatten each fritter with the back of the spoon and carefully place them in the skillet.
  4. Fry Until Golden: Fry the fritters for about 3–4 minutes on each side or until golden brown and crispy. Once cooked, place the fritters on a paper towel-lined plate to absorb any excess oil.
  5. Serve: Garnish the fritters with additional chives if desired. Serve warm with a side of yogurt or sour cream for added flavor.

Notes

  • Make Ahead: These fritters can be prepped in advance. Once shaped, store them in the fridge for up to 24 hours before frying.
  • Customize the Veggies: Feel free to swap out the zucchini, potatoes, or carrots for other vegetables like sweet potatoes or cauliflower.
  • Gluten-Free Option: Use gluten-free flour or additional oatmeal to make the fritters gluten-free.
  • Storage: Leftovers can be stored in the fridge for up to 2–3 days. Reheat in a skillet to maintain the crisp texture.
