Cherilyn's Fresh Zucchini & Carrot Fritters



Cherilyn's Fresh Zucchini & Carrot Fritters

I'm not big on zucchini but these are so tasty! I have officially been converted!

1 medium zucchini,grated
2 large carrots, peeled and grated
1 tsp salt
6 green onions, sliced
3 eggs, beaten
1/4 fresh dill, chopped
2 Tbsp fresh tarragon, chopped
2 Tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
1/2 cup almond flour
salt & black pepper to taste
3 Tbsp butter, melted
3 Tbsp olive oil

Toss zucchini and carrot with salt and let set in colander 30 minutes, then squeeze to remove excess moisture. Roll veggies in a cloth to dry.  
Combine the grated veggies, onions, eggs, and chopped herbs in a mixing bowl. Mix well then add the flour, baking powder and pepper. Stir well.
Combine the butter and oil. Heat a 12 inch skillet over medium-high heat. Add 2 tablespoons of the butter mixture to pan and coat evenly.
Add 1/4 cup of the zucchini batter, flattening the fritters with a spatula. cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until browned and cooked through. 
Remove fritters from pan and set on paper towels for a minute.
Wipe excess butter from skillet then repeat the process to make 8 fritters. Serve immediately.
