Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 2 cups grated sweet potato
- 1 cup grated zucchini squeezed to remove excess water
- 2 eggs beaten
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour or almond flour for gluten-free
- 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese grated
- 2 green onions chopped, plus extra for garnish
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 1/2 tsp smoked paprika
- salt and pepper to taste
- 2 tbsp olive oil for frying
Instructions
- Step 1: In a large bowl, combine grated sweet potato, zucchini, eggs, flour, Parmesan, green onions, garlic, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined.
- Step 2: Scoop about 2 tablespoons of the mixture and flatten into small patties using your hands or a spoon.
- Step 3: Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Cook fritters in batches, about 3–4 minutes per side, until golden brown and crispy.
- Step 4: Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil. Garnish with extra green onions and serve warm with your favorite dipping sauce.
Notes
For a dairy-free version, omit Parmesan or use nutritional yeast. These fritters pair well with Greek yogurt, sour cream, or a simple avocado lime dip.
