I LOVE these fritters!!! These little patties of yumminess can be served as an appetizer or finger food, they can be served as a snack for your kids, they can be a side dish to your entrée, or serve them with a salad and have them be the entrée. This recipe is originally from Taste of Home and I’m obsessed with these savory little treats.
Shred the zucchini and put it in a colander to drain. This step is very important – Use paper towels to pat the zucchini dry.
Mix the bread crumbs, seafood seasoning, and garlic powder in a large bowl. Next add the egg and melted butter. It will form a paste like mixture.
Add the carrots, onions and zucchini to the paste mixture.
Mix well!
Form the mixture into small patties about the size of a silver dollar and dredge in flour.
Fry them in oil over medium high heat for 3-4 minutes per side. Drain on paper towels.
You can serve them with ranch dressing if you like, but I think they are so tasty, I always eat them plain!
