Trying to get your kids to eat more veggies? These easy veggie fritters are the solution! They are chock full of veggies and pan-fried for that perfect crunch. If you’ve ever wondered how to make fritters, let me tell you that it’s easier than you think! We opted to mix zucchini, carrots, and scallions into ours, but feel free to substitute whatever veggies you have in the fridge. All that veggie goodness gets mixed up with an egg batter to hold it all together. I highly recommend topping these veggie fritters with sour cream, Greek yogurt, chives and/or extra scallions. Seconds of these, please!

What are fritters, anyways?

If you’re not familiar with these tasty snacks, a fritter is a fried patty. They can be sweet, like apple fritters, or savory, like these delish and healthy veggie fritters! Usually, you’ll find that they are made with chopped ingredients with an egg-based batter to bind everything together. These veggie fritters are similar to vegetable pancakes. The great thing about fritters is that you can fill them with good-for-you veggies while the fried component will have your kids asking for seconds. I’d call that the perfect balance!

Easy Veggie Fritters

Yields: 10-12 fritters
Prep Time: 5 minutes | Cook Time: 10 minutes | Total Time: 15 minutes

Ingredients:

  • 2 cups shredded zucchini
  • 2 cups shredded carrots
  • 2/3 cup flour
  • 1/3 cup chopped scallions
  • 2 large eggs, lightly beaten
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 Tablespoons olive oil
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • 1/8 teaspoon pepper
  • Optional: Sour cream or plain Greek yogurt for dipping. We like to add chives too!


Directions:

  1. Place the zucchini in a strainer over a bowl. Gently press down to squeeze the excess liquid out.
  2. In a medium bowl, add the strained shredded zucchini, shredded carrots, flour, scallions, eggs, garlic and salt and pepper. Stir well to incorporate all ingredients.
  3. Place paper towels over a large plate, set aside.
  4. Add the olive oil to a large sauté pan on medium-high heat. Once the oil is shining in the pan, add about ¼ cup of the mixture into the pan, flattening it just a bit with your fingers. Continue adding the mixture as stated, spacing the fritters about 1 inch apart.
  5. Allow the fritters to cook for approximately 3 minutes, and then flip to cook the other side for 1-2 minutes or until golden brown.
  6. Place the fritters on the prepared plate to allow the excess grease to drip off.
  7. Season with additional salt and pepper if desired.
  8. Continue this process until all of the vegetable mixture is used.
  9. Optional: Serve with a dollop of sour cream or plain Greek yogurt. You can also top with chives.

Note: These veggie fritters are best enjoyed immediately after they are prepared for the crispiest result!
