Easy Carrot Fritters
These easy carrot fritters are packed full of flavor with the addition of cilantro, shallots, and garlic. They make a great side dish and an even easier appetizer. Serve plain or with my delicious Greek yogurt cilantro lime sauce!
Servings: 12 fritters
Ingredients
- 2 cups grated carrots
- 1 large egg
- 3 tablespoons minced fresh cilantro divided
- 1 small shallot finely minced
- 1 clove garlic finely minced
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup vegetable oil
- 1 cup plain Greek yogurt
- 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
Instructions
- Set aside carrots and if they give off any moisture make sure to drain it off.
- In a medium-sized mixing bowl add egg and whisk.
- Add in 2 tablespoons cilantro, shallots, garlic, kosher salt, black pepper, and flour.
- Whisk until combined.
- Stir in grated carrots.
- Add vegetable to a 12-inch skillet and set over medium-high heat.
- When the oil is hot add 2 tablespoons sized scoops of the carrot mixture into the oil and flatten slightly. Continue until the pan is full. I like to cook 4-5 at a time.
- When the bottom is golden brown flip the fritter and continue cooking until the other side is browned.
- Remove from the skillet when fully cooked and place onto a paper towel lined plate.
- Continue until all the fritters have been cooked.
- In a small bowl whisk together Greek yogurt, cilantro, and lime juice.
- Serve fritters with Greek yogurt dipping sauce.
Notes
If the carrots give off a lot of moisture and the mixture gets runny you can add in a little more flour to hold it together.
