Description

A delicious and crispy fritter made from shredded zucchini and sweet potato, perfect for any meal.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups shredded zucchini, squeezed to remove excess moisture
  • 2 cups shredded sweet potato
  • 2 large eggs, lightly beaten
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour or gluten-free flour
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese, optional
  • 2 green onions, finely chopped
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1/4 teaspoon smoked paprika, optional
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste
  • 3 tablespoons vegetable oil for frying

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, combine the shredded zucchini and sweet potato. Use a clean kitchen towel or cheesecloth to squeeze out as much moisture as possible, especially from the zucchini.
  2. Add the eggs, flour, Parmesan (if using), green onions, garlic, cumin, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper to the bowl with the vegetables. Stir until the mixture is evenly combined.
  3. Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
  4. Scoop about 2 tablespoons of the mixture for each fritter and flatten it slightly with your hands.
  5. Place the fritters in the skillet, being careful not to overcrowd the pan. Cook for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crisp. Transfer to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
  6. Serve warm with a dollop of sour cream, Greek yogurt, or your favorite dipping sauce.

Notes

  • You can substitute the all-purpose flour with gluten-free flour to make it gluten-free.
  • Feel free to add your favorite herbs or spices for extra flavor.
