Ingredients:
- 1 large carrot, chopped or grated
- 1 large egg
- 1/2 onion, chopped
- 1 tbsp all-purpose flour
- 2 tbsp Parmesan cheese, grated
- Olive oil (for frying)
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Optional: herbs like parsley or chives for added flavor
Instructions:
- Prepare the Mixture:
- In a large bowl, combine the chopped or grated carrot, chopped onion, all-purpose flour, and Parmesan cheese.
- Beat the egg in a separate bowl, then add it to the vegetable mixture. Mix well until everything is evenly combined. Season with salt and pepper to taste. If using, add chopped herbs.
- Heat the Oil:
- In a non-stick frying pan, heat a tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat.
- Cook the Fritters:
- Once the oil is hot, spoon the carrot and egg mixture into the pan, forming small patties. Flatten them slightly with the back of the spoon.
- Cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side or until golden brown and crispy. You may need to adjust the heat to prevent burning.
- Serve:
- Remove the fritters from the pan and place them on a paper towel to absorb excess oil.
- Serve warm, optionally garnished with extra Parmesan cheese or fresh herbs.
