Ingredients

Scale

4 medium fresh carrots, grated (about 2 cups)
1 cup all-purpose flour (or gluten-free flour)
2 large eggs
4 green onions, finely chopped
1 tsp garlic powder
Salt and pepper to taste
2 tbsp olive oil (for frying)

Instructions

Grate the carrots using a box grater or food processor until you have about 2 cups.
In a large bowl, beat the eggs and mix in the grated carrots, salt, pepper, and garlic powder until well combined.
Gradually fold in the flour and add green onions; mix until just combined without overmixing.
Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat until shimmering.
Scoop about 2 tablespoons of batter per fritter into the skillet; flatten slightly with a spatula. Cook for about 3 minutes on each side until golden brown.
Transfer cooked fritters onto paper towels to drain excess oil. Serve warm with your favorite dipping sauce.
