Veggie Fritters

Ingredients:

• 2 cups broccoli, grated

• 3 large zucchini, grated and drained

• 6 large carrots, grated

• 1 onion, diced and sautéed

• 1 cup corn kernels

• 5 eggs

• 2 tsp salt

• 1/2 tsp pepper

• 1 tsp granulated garlic

• 1/2 cup Panko breadcrumbs

• 1/2 cup flour

• 1/2 tsp baking powder

• 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese

• 1 tsp. Cajun seasoning, optional

Directions:

Grate zucchini, sprinkle with 1 tsp salt and set in a fine mesh strainer. Place a bowl or plate on top of the zucchini and weigh it down. Let it sit for up to one hour. After it has drained, wrap it in a clean kitchen towel or a piece of cheesecloth and give it a good squeeze, you want to get as much water out as possible!

Set the drained zucchini aside.

In a large bowl, mix flour, baking powder, pepper, granulated garlic or Cajun seasoning, if using, breadcrumb and cheese together. Add all the vegetables and toss to combine, making sure to break up the zucchini and coat everything with flour mixture.

Crack eggs into a small bowl, give a little whisk and pour over veggie mixture. Mix to combine.

Heat a skillet over medium-high heat, add a drizzle of oil.

Drop mixture by large spoonfuls into the hot pan and flatten out with your fingers to form a patty.

Cook for 4 - 5 minutes on each side until golden brown.

Remove from pan to a paper towel lined baking sheet.

Repeat until mixture is gone!
