- Cuisine: Vegetarian
- 1 cup grated carrots
- 1 cup grated zucchini
- 1 cup grated bell peppers
- 1 cup breadcrumbs
- 1 beaten egg (or egg substitute such as mashed bananas or flaxseed meal mixed with water)
- Salt
- Pepper
- A pinch of nutmeg
- Olive oil (for frying)
- Optional: spinach, mushrooms, parsley, dill, crushed gluten-free crackers or oats
- Start by washing and grating your chosen vegetables. Squeeze out excess moisture from the grated zucchini to prevent the patties from becoming too watery.
- In a large bowl, combine the grated vegetables, breadcrumbs, beaten egg (or substitute), and your chosen spices. Mix until everything is well incorporated.
- With your hands, shape the mixture into small patties, about 2-3 inches wide. You should be able to get around 8-10 patties depending on the size.
- In a skillet, heat some olive oil over medium heat. You want it hot enough that the patties sizzle when they hit the pan.
- Carefully place the patties in the skillet, ensuring not to overcrowd them. Fry them for about 4-5 minutes on each side until they are golden brown and crispy.
- Once cooked, place the patties on a plate lined with paper towels to absorb excess oil. Serve warm with your favorite dipping sauce or as a filling in a sandwich.
