Ingredients

• 1 medium Zucchini
• 1 large Carrot
• 0.5 cup diced Red bell pepper
• 2 stalks Green onions
• 0.25 cup chopped Fresh parsley
• 2 large Egg whites
• 0.25 cup Whole wheat flour
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 0.25 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 2 sprays Olive oil spray

Directions

Step 1

Start by grating the zucchini and carrot into a large bowl using a box grater.

Step 2

Dice the red bell pepper and chop the green onions. Add them to the bowl with the grated vegetables.

Step 3

Add chopped parsley to the vegetables and mix everything well.

Step 4

In a small bowl, beat the egg whites until frothy.

Step 5

Add the beaten egg whites to the vegetable mixture, followed by the whole wheat flour, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder.

Step 6

Stir the mixture until all ingredients are well combined.

Step 7

Preheat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Lightly coat the skillet with olive oil spray.

Step 8

Drop spoonfuls of the vegetable mixture into the skillet to form small patties, about 2-3 inches wide.

Step 9

Cook the fritters for about 3-4 minutes on one side, or until golden brown. Flip and cook the other side for another 3-4 minutes.

Step 10

Remove the fritters from the skillet and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to remove any excess oil.

Step 11

Repeat with the remaining mixture, lightly spraying the skillet with olive oil spray as needed.

Step 12

Serve the fritters warm as an appetizer or a light main dish, garnished with extra parsley if desired.
