Cooking Tips

• Make sure to squeeze out the excess moisture from the grated zucchini and carrot to prevent the fritters from becoming soggy.
• You can customize the fritters by adding other vegetables like corn or bell peppers.
• For a gluten-free version, use almond flour or gluten-free all-purpose flour.
• To reheat the fritters, place them in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 10 minutes, or until heated through.

Storage and Serving

• Serve the fritters as a main dish for breakfast or brunch, or as a side dish for lunch or dinner.
• They can be enjoyed on their own or served with a side of salad or a dollop of sour cream.
• Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
• To freeze the fritters, place them in a single layer on a baking sheet and freeze until solid. Then transfer them to a freezer-safe container or bag and store for up to 3 months. Thaw in the refrigerator before reheating.
