Better Than Pizza: Zucchini and Oatmeal Delight

Zucchini-Oatmeal Fritters (Better Than Pizza!)

(Crispy, cheesy, and packed with veggies!)

INGREDIENTS (MAIN DISH):

1 medium zucchini (grated, excess water squeezed out)

1 carrot (grated)

5 tbsp oatmeal (quick oats or blended for finer texture)

2 eggs (or flax eggs for vegan)

2 garlic cloves (minced)

100g cheese (shredded, any meltable kind)

2 green onions (chopped)

Salt & pepper to taste

Olive oil (for frying)

OPTIONAL SAUCE (YOGURT-GARLIC DIP):

½ cup Greek yogurt (or dairy-free alternative)

1 garlic clove (minced)

1 tbsp lemon juice

1 tbsp olive oil

Salt & dill (to taste)

INSTRUCTIONS:

Prep the veggies:

Grate zucchini & carrot, then squeeze out excess water (key for crispiness!).

Mix with oats, eggs, cheese, garlic, green onions, salt & pepper.

Cook the fritters:

Heat olive oil in a pan.

Scoop spoonfuls of the mix, flatten slightly, and fry 3-4 mins per sideuntil golden.

Make the sauce (optional but delicious!):

Stir together yogurt, garlic, lemon, olive oil, salt & dill.

Serve warm!

????️ Great with the yogurt dip, on salads, or in wraps!
