Jazz up your normal carrot snacking routine with these crispy, tasty carrot fritters!

Carrots are good for more than salads or baked into carrot cake, and this recipe proves it. This simple, crispy, and savory carrot fritters recipe transforms the humble veggie into a satisfying meal or hearty snack.

It uses ingredients that you probably already have on hand – carrots, scallions, garlic, eggs, tapioca starch, salt, pepper, and olive oil. They cook up quick, so long as you have a large skillet with room to pan-fry them. I suggest making a double batch and freezing them to enjoy whenever hunger strikes!

How To Grate Carrots

I find that grating the carrots on the smallest hole possible on the grater makes them easier to shape and creates more compact fritters.

This helps the fritters to hold well together during the frying process and prevents a sad, crumbly mess.

Helpful Tips To Get You Started:

• Cook the fritters in batches. These fritters need space to cook, so cook them in batches of 3 or 4 fritters max. Depending on how large your skillet is, you may need to cook the fritters in 3 or more batches.
• Swap the carrots for other vegetables. You can swap out the carrots in this recipe for shredded zucchini, butternut squash, or sweet potato.
