These Vegetable Fritters are made with zucchini, carrots, and potato. They are great for lunch or as an appetizer and you will not be able to stop at one!

Vegetable fritters are so easy to make and a good way to use some leftover veggies in your fridge.

Did I hear you saying that your chidren don’t like vegetables?

Well, they won’t even notice that you have hidden them inside these fritters and you’ll see they will devour them in no time!

Make sure to have some Tzatziki or Feta and Greek yoghurt Dip (recipe below) to accompany them.

They are also great the next day to take with you to work.

Unlike my other recipe for Veggie Burgers, where the vegetables were first cooked, this time all the ingredients were used raw.  Whichever you choose to make, they are both delicious!

At the end of the post you will find a new Dip with Feta and Greek Yoghurt to accompany these fritters.

An easy dip which you can pair with an assortment of vegetables or spread it on vegetable fritters or meat burgers, with grilled meat or inside sandwiches.

If you thin it out with a bit of milk, it turns into versatile cold pasta salad dressing.

Vegetable Fritters with Quinoa

I have added another variation of this recipe which I made recently. These fritters use zucchini, carrots, tomato and onion for vegetables and instead of using Quaker Oats, I used some cooked quinoa, to add some protein to the fritters.

These Vegetable Fritters are made with zucchini, carrots, and potato. They are great for lunch or as an appetizer and you will not be able to stop at one!

Ingredients

  • 2 medium green zucchini, grated
  • 1 medium potato, grated
  • 2 medium carrots, grated
  • 1 medium onion, grated
  • 1 tbsp tomato paste
  • ½ vegetable bouillon
  • 1 egg
  • 1 ¼ cup stale bread, grated

  • Extra virgin olive oil for frying

Instructions

  1. Wash the vegetables and let them drain.
  2. Grate the zucchini and sprinkle some salt on top. Let them sit for half an hour in a colander and then squeeze to remove all excess water.
  3. Grate the potato and squeeze out the water as well.
  4. Put the drained potato and zucchini in a bowl. Add the grated carrot, the parsley, the egg, as well as both cheeses, the mint, salt and pepper and oregano.
  5. (Easy on the salt, as feta is salty and we added some salt on the grated zucchini.)
  6. Put the onion, the tomato paste and the bouillon in a food processor and mix to puree.
  7. Empty it in the bowl and add the bread and mix to make the bread crumbs. Finally add the Quaker oats and mix well.
  8. Let the mixture stand in the fridge, for at least half an hour, to absorb the fluids.
  9. Heat the olive oil in a heavy skillet or non-stick frying pan.
  10. Form them into patties and dredge them with the flour.
  11. Fry on both sides until golden and remove them on kitchen paper.
  12. Serve them with Greek Yoghourt and Feta Dip.
