  • Author: Annabel
  • Total Time: 35 minutes
  • Yield: 6–8 patties

Description

Crispy on the outside, tender on the inside, these vegetable patties are packed with flavor and nutrition! Made with fresh carrots, potatoes, zucchini, and a hint of garlic, they’re a versatile dish that’s perfect as a snack, main course, or even as a burger patty. These patties are so good, they might just replace your favorite meat dish!


Ingredients

  • 4 ounces carrots, grated (about 2 medium)
  • 4 ounces potatoes, grated (about 1 medium)
  • 4 ounces zucchini, grated (about 1 medium)
  • 5.5 ounces onions, finely chopped (about 1 medium)
  • 3 eggs
  • 23 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil (for cooking)
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • Black pepper, to taste

Instructions

1. Prepare the Vegetables

  • Peel and grate the carrots and potatoes.
  • Grate the zucchini, then squeeze out any excess moisture using a clean kitchen towel or paper towel.
  • Finely chop the onion.
  • Mince the garlic cloves.

2. Combine the Ingredients

  • In a large mixing bowl, combine the grated carrots, potatoes, zucchini, chopped onions, and minced garlic.
  • Add the eggs, salt, and black pepper to taste.
  • Mix well until all the ingredients are fully incorporated.

3. Form the Patties

  • Using your hands or a spoon, scoop the mixture and shape it into small, palm-sized patties.
  • Place the formed patties on a plate, ready to cook.

4. Cook the Patties

  • Heat 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
  • Add the patties to the skillet in batches, being careful not to overcrowd the pan.
  • Cook for 4–5 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through.

5. Drain and Serve

  • Remove the patties from the skillet and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.
  • Serve hot with your favorite dipping sauce, or use as a filling for sandwiches, wraps, or burgers.

Notes

  • Squeezing the Zucchini: Removing excess moisture ensures the patties hold their shape during cooking.
  • Customizing the Seasoning: Feel free to add paprika, chili flakes, or fresh herbs like parsley or cilantro for added flavor.
  • Cooking Option: For a healthier alternative, bake the patties on a parchment-lined baking sheet at 375°F (190°C) for 20–25 minutes, flipping halfway through.
