Crispy Vegetable Fritters – Low Carb Vegetarian Recipes

I’ll be honest, I have a soft spot for fritters. They’re the kind of snack that makes you feel like you’re winning at life, even on a random Tuesday. This vegetable fritters recipe is my go-to when I want something that feels a little indulgent but still fits neatly under the umbrella of low carb vegetarian recipes. They’re golden, crispy on the edges, and packed with fresh veggies that actually taste like vegetables instead of being drowned out by batter. I first made these after a friend challenged me to find recipes low carb that didn’t make us feel like we were sacrificing flavor. Let me tell you, these fritters passed the test with flying colors. We sat around the kitchen, dipping them in yogurt sauce, and realized we’d accidentally stumbled upon something that beats even a chicken fritters recipe for snack-time glory. I love that this recipe low carb doesn’t demand exotic ingredients or hours in the kitchen. Just a few humble veggies, a mixing bowl, and a hot pan. They crisp up quickly, they disappear even faster, and if you’re into Low Carb Recipes, this one is going to find a permanent spot in your weekly rotation.

Ingredients

  • 2 medium zucchini, grated
  • 1 medium carrot, grated
  • 1 small onion, finely chopped
  • 1/2 cup almond flour
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil for frying

Instructions

  1. Grate the zucchini and carrot, then squeeze out as much moisture as possible with a clean towel.
  2. In a large bowl, combine the grated vegetables, onion, almond flour, eggs, baking powder, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
  3. Mix until everything holds together.
  4. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat.
  5. Scoop spoonfuls of the mixture into the skillet and flatten slightly with the back of the spoon.
  6. Cook for 3 to 4 minutes per side until golden and crispy.
  7. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate and repeat with remaining batter.
  8. Serve warm with your favorite dipping sauce.

Notes

If your fritters feel too soft, add a tablespoon more almond flour. You can swap almond flour with coconut flour but reduce the amount slightly as it absorbs more moisture. They taste great with a side of sour cream, tzatziki, or even a spicy mayo.
