This is a healthy, gluten free, vegetarian and vegan friendly recipe for zucchini and carrot fritters. I have included both the normal method and my thermomix cooking method for those who have a thermomix as it's really easy to do it in there as well.

These fritters are amazing served with poached eggs and siracha sauce/fresh lime squeezed over the top, and they go with any other chicken or meat dish really. So versatile and healthy. They are great for meal prepping ahead of time as well.

Normal method:

*Serves 4

Ingredients:
2 Zucchinis, grated
2 Carrots, grated
1 clove garlic
4 stalks shallots, finely chopped
1 cup almond flour
2 eggs
1 teaspoon cumin
1 teaspoon paprika
Salt and fresh ground black pepper to taste
½ fresh lime
Fresh coriander
Sriracha sauce

Instructions: 

Place grated zucchini in a cheese cloth or muslin cloth and squeeze dry. You want to try to get all the liquid out. You can save this healthy liquid for green smoothies/juices.

Once squeezed place back in bowl and add carrot, beaten eggs, shallots, almond flour, cumin, paprika, salt and freshly ground black pepper and mix well.

Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat, add 1/4 cup of the mixture and fry until golden brown each side, which will take about 3 minutes per side. Repeat until mixture is all used up.

To serve, squeeze some lime over the top, drizzle some Sriracha sauce over & garnish with coriander.
