Ingredients

  • 2 cups carrots (peeled and grated (from 3 large carrots))
  • 1/4 cup green onions (sliced)
  • 1 clove garlic (minced)
  • 1/2 cup gluten-free flour blend (your choice)
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp ground black pepper
  • 1/2 tsp ground mustard
  • 1/2 tsp cumin
  • 1 egg (beaten (see notes for vegan version))
  • 1 tbsp oil (I use avocado oil)
  • 1/4 cup greek yogurt (for serving)
  • 1 lemon (for serving)
  • 2 tbsp green onions (sliced, for serving)

Instructions

  • Grate carrots using either a box grater or a food processor. 
  • Add carrots, green onions, garlic, gluten-free flour, salt, pepper, ground mustard and cumin to a bowl. Stir to combine.
  • Add the egg or flax egg (see notes) to the bowl. Mix until you have a thick paste-like mixture. Form into 8 equal patties, about 2 inches wide each. Set aside. 
  • Preheat a skillet over medium-high heat. Add tablespoon of avocado oil. Once the pan is hot, add half of the carrot fritters to the pan. 
  • Cook until the bottom is golden brown, about 3 minutes. Flip over, and press the fritters down with the back of a spatula. Cook another 3 minutes or so, until golden and crispy. Set aside on a paper towl to drain grease. Repeat with remaining fritters.
  • Top with greek yogurt (or coconut yogurt for dairy-free or vegan option), a squeeze of lemon juice and sliced green onions. 

Notes

**To make this recipe vegan, use a flax egg instead of a regular egg. To make, combine one tablespoon of ground flax meal with three tablespoons of water in a bowl and whisk to combine. Let sit for 5 minutes, until the mixture is thick and gel-like. Add it to the recipe when you would add the egg. Serve with coconut yogurt or other non-dairy yogurt instead of greek yogurt.
