Ingredients:
- 2 medium Zucchinis (grated and squeezed to remove water)
- 2 medium Carrots (finely grated)
- 2 large Eggs
- 1/2 cup Shredded Cheese (Mozzarella or Cheddar work best)
- 1/4 cup Green Onions (finely chopped)
- 1/2 cup Breadcrumbs (or flour, to bind the mixture)
- 1/2 tsp Garlic Powder
- Salt and Black Pepper to taste
- Olive oil (for pan-frying)
Quick Instructions:
- Prep: Grate the zucchini and carrots. Pro Tip: Make sure to squeeze the grated zucchini in a kitchen towel to remove all excess moisture—this keeps them crispy!
- Mix: In a large bowl, combine the grated veggies, eggs, cheese, green onions, and seasonings. Add breadcrumbs gradually until you can shape the mixture.
- Shape: Form the mixture into small “fingers” or logs.
- Cook: Heat a little oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Fry the fingers for 3-4 minutes per side until they are golden brown and crispy.
- Serve: Enjoy them warm with a side of Greek yogurt dip or ranch!
