I recently fell in love with turning unassuming everyday vegetable into multiple delicious dishes like today’s recipe – Zucchini Carrot Fritters !

Where I live, zucchinis are very affordable and a good year-round vegetable. Quite often we underestimate how delicious and versatile they can be. So today I want to share 2 different ways to repurpose this everyday vegetable for multiple uses and fun for the entire family to enjoy.

Read on to make these yummy Zucchini Carrot Fritters with Paleo sour cream ! !

Finding new ways to make eating zucchini sexy and fun again

These zucchini carrot fritters were invented because I was looking for ways to prevent food waste.

Zucchinis also have shorter shelf life so finding ways to utilize them quickly seems like a guaranteed win. 🙂

Aside from baking or quick sautéing like my chicken and olive squash recipe, the two new recipes I’m sharing with you today will help you create more variety out of your daily meal.

Zucchini Carrot Fritters

Flavor-wise, these fritters actually remind me of Chinese scallion pancakes minus the doughy texture.

They’re savory and slightly sweet with a golden crispy surface. Just like I remember after school snacks in my home town.

Best way to make golden crispy Zucchini Carrot Fritters (with as little flour as possible)

I used slivered almond flour this time so that the green and red color from the vegetables would pop more in the mixture.

Before making the fritters, season the grated vegetables lightly with salt. It will help the vegetables “sweat” thus remove more water content.

Before pan frying, try to squeeze out the liquid as much as possible or otherwise your fritters will be soaky and less apt to hold their shape.

If you still find it difficult to hold the shape of the fritters in a frying pan without them falling apart, you can first form each fritter (about 3 tbsp per fritter) into meatball shape then gently press them down in your hands before pan frying.

The perfect dipping sauce – Paleo sour cream

Now I personally think these fritters go hand-in-hand with Paleo sour cream. A little acidity and creamy texture makes everything taste oh so much more delicious !

I whipped up the cream with full-fat coconut cream but if you aren’t sensitive to dairy, doing 80/20 Paleo, or on keto, unsweetened Greek yogurt will be an alternative good choice.

What to do next ?
