Carrot Fritters

Ingredients
  

  • 1 lb carrots grated
  • 1 small egg
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour use more if needed
  • 1 garlic clove grated or 1/8 teaspon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 2 tablespoons spinach or cilantro chopped (optional)
  • 1/4 cup green onions
  • 1 teaspoon ginger
  • Salt and Pepper to taste
  • 1/2 cup plain hummus
  • 1/2 cup plain yogurt
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 400℉ and grease or line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Using a food processor or a box grater, grate the carrots, then drain and squeeze them with a paper towel to remove the excess moisture. Add them to a bowl.
  • Add the remaining ingredients to the grated carrots and mix until well combined. If the mixture is still wet and difficult to handle, you might add more flour.
  • Place a heaping tablespoon of the mixture on the baking sheet and flatten slightly with your hand.
  • Bake the fritters in the preheated oven for about 12 minutes, then turn them over and bake for a further 12 minutes, or until golden and crispy. Check your oven; the baking time might be slightly different.
  • Optional: YOGURT-HUMMUS DIP
  • Yogurt-hummus dip: Make a super easy yogurt-hummus dip by simply mixing plain yogurt, hummus, and lemon juice.
  • Serve the fritters with the yogurt-hummus dip. They're best when freshly baked, but they can also be served cold. Enjoy!
