🥒 Zucchini-Oatmeal Fritters (Better Than Pizza!)
(Crispy, cheesy, and packed with veggies!)
Ingredients (Main Dish):
1 medium zucchini (grated, excess water squeezed out)
1 carrot (grated)
5 tbsp oatmeal (quick oats or blended for finer texture)
2 eggs (or flax eggs for vegan)
2 garlic cloves (minced)
100g cheese (shredded, any meltable kind)
2 green onions (chopped)
Salt & pepper to taste
Olive oil (for frying)
🍯 Optional Sauce (Yogurt-Garlic Dip):
½ cup Greek yogurt (or dairy-free alternative)
1 garlic clove (minced)
1 tbsp lemon juice
1 tbsp olive oil
Salt & dill (to taste)
Instructions:
Prep the veggies:
Grate zucchini & carrot, then squeeze out excess water (key for crispiness!).
Mix with oats, eggs, cheese, garlic, green onions, salt & pepper.
Cook the fritters:
Heat olive oil in a pan.
Scoop spoonfuls of the mix, flatten slightly, and fry 3-4 mins per side until golden.
Make the sauce (optional but delicious!):
Stir together yogurt, garlic, lemon, olive oil, salt & dill.
Serve warm!
🍽️ Great with the yogurt dip, on salads, or in wraps!
