Quick and Crispy Vegetable Fritters

I’m always on the hunt for fast and flavorful ways to add a veggie component to any meal, from tucking creamy avocado into homemade egg rolls to transforming cauliflower into tater-less tots. And now, if you have 25 minutes and a handful of pantry and fridge staples, you have the easiest and tastiest way to eat your veggies: Quick and Crispy Vegetable Fritters.

The setup on this one is extra-simple: Shred zucchini and carrots then toss them together with eggs, garlic, scallions and a touch of flour. Scoop the mixture into a hot pan and wait for the crackling to cue you to flip ’em. The result is crispy vegetable fritters perfect for pairing with a dollop of tangy sour cream or refreshing yogurt.

INGREDIENTS

• 2 cups shredded zucchini
• 2 cups shredded carrots
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 2/3 cup all-purpose flour
• 2 large eggs, lightly beaten
• 1/3 cup sliced scallions (green and white parts)
• 2 Tablespoons olive oil
• Sour cream or yogurt, for serving

INSTRUCTIONS

1. Place the shredded zucchini in a colander and sprinkle it lightly with salt. Let the zucchini sit for 10 minutes then using your hands, squeeze out as much liquid as possible.
2. Transfer the zucchini to a large bowl then add the carrots, garlic, flour, eggs, scallions, 1/4 teaspoon salt and 1/8 teaspoon pepper. Stir the mixture until it is combined.
