Ingredients
Scale
For the Fritters:
- 2 medium kohlrabi (about 14 ounces), leaves removed, peeled and grated
- 1 small-medium or 1/2 large zucchini (about 6-8 ounces), grated
- 2 medium or 3 small carrots (about 5 ounces), peeled and grated
- 1/2 cup diced onion
- 1/4 cup chopped parsley
- 2 eggs, lightly beaten
- 1/2 cup flour
- 1/4 teaspoons garlic powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon pepper
- 3 tablespoons olive oil, divided
For the Yogurt Sauce:
- 1 cup plain Greek yogurt
- 1/2 tablespoon lemon zest
- 1/2 tablespoon chopped parsley
- 1 tablespoon avocado or olive oil
- 1/8 teaspoon salt
Instructions
For the Fritters:
- Combine kohlrabi, zucchini, carrots, and onion in a cheese cloth* and wring out any excess water. Transfer to a medium mixing bowl.
- Add parsley, eggs, flour, garlic powder, salt and pepper and mix to coat evenly.
- Add 1 tablespoon olive oil to cast iron skillet (or a regular sauté pan) over medium-low heat. Once oil is hot enough, drop 1/4 cup of fritter batter into the pan and flatten out with a spatula. Depending on the size of your skillet, cook a few fritters at a time, leaving space in-between. Cook fritters until golden-brown and crispy, about 3-4 minutes on each side.
- Transfer cooked fritters to a paper towel to absorb some oil.
- Serve fritters hot and crispy with herb yogurt sauce.
For the Yogurt Sauce:
- Mix yogurt, lemon zest, parsley, oil, and salt until combined. Serve alongside fritters.
Notes
- To save time, shred vegetables in a food processor, using the grater attachment, instead of hand grating them.
- If you don’t have a cheese cloth, add veggies to a strainer and sprinkle with salt and let sit for 10 minutes and then wring out excess liquid with hands.
- I found that using a citrus squeezer helped me wring out more liquid than using my hands did!
