These crispy carrot fritters are a delicious way to use up all those forgotten or sad looking veggies. Are a great way of reducing food waste, easy to make and require just a few simple ingredients. You will find that they are very versatile and can be enjoyed as a snack, light lunch, or as a side dish. Pair them with the quick dipping sauce or enjoy them plain.

And, why not get creative by using any other seasonal vegetables?

Kitchen tools needed: mandolina or a grater

Serves: 4 as a side
Prep: 15 min
Difficulty: Easy

Ingredients:

  • 400 g carrots thinly grated – I had leftover rainbow carrots, but can use any preferred kind
  • 40 g coriander – finely chopped
  • 3 green onions - finely chopped
  • 1 tbsp ginger – grated
  • 1 large egg – beaten
  • 150 g flour
  • Salt and pepper
  • ¼ tsp of preferred Asian spice
  • 1 lt Vegetable oil for frying

For the dipping sauce

  • 1tbsp light soy sauce
  • 2 tbsp rice wine vinegar
  • 2 tsp maple syrup
  • 1 tbsp grated ginger

Method: 

  1. Place all ingredients into a bowl and combine.
  2. With the help of a tablespoon create same size fritter and place them on a tray lined with parchment paper.
  3. Place the oil into a saucepan and bring the temperature to 160 degrees. If you don’t have a thermometer, sprinkle some flour on the top and this should float straight away.
  4. Cook the fritters 4 at the time, on a low and steady temperature to allow for an even cooking. Drain on some kitchen towel before serving.
Tip:  Why don’t you add some fresh chilly and more coriander before serving, for the right kick.
