HOW TO MAKE VEGETABLE FRITTERS HEALTHIER
If you’d like to save some calories and make these fritters healthier, I suggest baking them instead of frying. To do that, lightly spray a
non-stick muffin tin with oil, and divide the veggie mixture between the 12 muffin cups. Bake for about 15 minutes at 350°F.

1. Wash and grate the zucchini. Squeeze handfuls of the grated zucchini tightly to remove extra water. Place it into a large mixing bowl.
2. Grate the carrots.
3. Into the zucchini bowl, add the carrots, corn, eggs, flour, garlic, parsley, salt, and pepper. Stir well to combine.
4. Place a large non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add about 2 tablespoons of oil. Once the oil is hot, add one heaping tablespoon at a time of the zucchini mixture, and flatten out the tops slightly to make the fritters even. Cook for 3-4 minutes per side, or until golden brown. If they brown too quickly, reduce the heat. Serve warm with a dollop of yogurt.
