Description
Delicious and versatile fritters made with sweet potatoes and zucchini, perfect for a snack or light meal.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 medium sweet potato, peeled and shredded
- 1 medium zucchini, shredded
- 1/4 cup green onions, chopped (plus extra for topping)
- 1/3 cup all-purpose flour (or chickpea flour for gluten-free)
- 2 large eggs
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- 1/2 tsp onion powder
- Salt, to taste
- Pepper, to taste
- 2–3 tbsp olive oil or avocado oil (for frying)
Instructions
- After shredding, squeeze the excess moisture from the zucchini and sweet potato using a clean towel.
- In a bowl, combine the shredded veggies, green onions, eggs, flour, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Mix well.
- Shape the mixture into small patties, about 2–3 inches wide.
- Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat. Fry the fritters in batches for about 3–4 minutes on each side until golden and crispy.
- Drain on paper towels and garnish with more green onions. Serve warm with yogurt dip or your favorite sauce.
Notes
For a healthier option, bake the fritters in the oven at 400°F (200°C) instead of frying them. Make sure to squeeze out as much moisture from the shredded zucchini as possible for crispier fritters.
