• 1/4 cup Finely chopped green onion
• 3 Garlic Cloves, minced
• 2-3 tablespoons Chopped Parsley
• 1/2 teaspoon Salt, or to taste
• 1/4 teaspoon Ground Pepper, or to taste

  for frying

Instructions

1. The easiest way to prep the veggies is by using your food processor and setting up the small shredding blade. Alternatively, you can use a medium-small grater. The veggies need to be grated in small bits so they can cook evenly.
2. Start by grating the zucchini, then squeeze as much water as you can and place them in a large bowl.
3. Continue to shred the sweet potato and carrot and add it to the bowl. Stir in the remaining ingredients: green onion, garlic, parsley, salt, pepper, eggs, rice flour, and parmesan cheese. Using your hands or a large spoon, mix thoroughly until well combined.
4. Heat oil in a large nonstick pan over medium heat. Add about one spoonful of mixture into the pan, and gently press it down to create a round-shaped fritter.
5. Cook about four fritters at a time for about 3-4 minutes per side. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate until finished.
6. Serve with your favorite dip and enjoy!
