• Sour cream or yoghurt, for serving
• 2 c. shredded zucchini

DIRECTIONS :

Step 1: In a colander, place the shredded zucchini and lightly sprinkle with salt. Set aside for 10 minutes. Then, squeeze out as much liquid as possible from the zucchini using your hands.

Step 2: In a large bowl, place the zucchini, carrots, garlic, flour, eggs, scallions, ¼ tsp salt, and ⅛ tsp pepper. Mix well.

Step 3: With paper towels, line a plate.

Slightly flatten the mounds and keep them about 1-inch apart from each other. Cook for about 2 to 3 minutes. Flip the fritters and cook the other side for 1 to 2 minutes more or until crispy and golden brown.

Step 5: To the paper towel-lined plate, transfer the fritters and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Cook the rest of the veggie mixture.
