Servings: 8 fritters
Points: ~1–2 each (depending on oil use)
Ingredients:
2 medium carrots, grated (or zucchini, squeeze out water)
1 small onion, finely chopped
2 eggs (or 1 egg + 2 egg whites to reduce points)
¼ cup whole wheat flour (or chickpea flour for extra fiber)
2 tbsp grated light cheese (optional, adds flavor but a point or two)
½ tsp garlic powder
½ tsp paprika (or chili flakes for spice)
Salt & pepper to taste
Cooking spray (or 1–2 tsp olive oil, brushed on pan)
Fresh chopped scallions for garnish
Instructions:
- Prep veggies: Grate carrots (or zucchini—if zucchini, squeeze out extra water in a towel).
- Mix batter: In a bowl, combine veggies, onion, eggs, flour, seasonings, and cheese (if using). Stir well until it forms a thick batter.
- Cook: Heat a nonstick skillet over medium heat. Lightly spray with cooking spray. Drop spoonfuls of mixture into the pan, flatten slightly.
- Fry: Cook 3–4 minutes per side until golden brown and crisp.
- Serve: Sprinkle with fresh scallions. Enjoy with a 0-point dip like fat-free Greek yogurt mixed with lemon and herbs.
Tips to keep it WW-friendly:
Use air fryer instead of pan-frying for fewer points.
Swap flour with oats for more fiber.
Skip cheese if you want to save points.
