Step 1: In a mixing bowl, combine shredded zucchini, carrot, and sliced onion.
Step 2: Add in the egg, milk, flour, salt, and pepper. Mix until everything is evenly combined. It should resemble a thick veggie batter.
Step 3: Heat a non-stick pan over medium heat and lightly grease with oil or cooking spray.
Step 4: Spoon the mixture into the pan, forming small patties. Flatten them slightly with the back of the spoon.
Step 5: Cook each side for 2-3 minutes or until golden brown and crispy.
Step 6: Transfer to a plate lined with paper towels to absorb any excess oil. Serve hot with a dip or salad.
Tips for Perfect Patties
Drain your veggies: Squeeze out excess moisture from the zucchini and carrot with a clean towel. This helps the patties crisp up better.
Want more flavor? Add herbs like parsley or dill. Or try a pinch of cumin or paprika for depth just like in our cowboy soup where spice balance makes all the difference.
Make it cheesy: Mix in shredded cheddar or parmesan for extra umami, similar to our cheesy soup variations.
