Pan Fried Vegetable Croquettes
( Back to Cookbook Main Menu | Back to Side Dishes | Back to Vegetable Dishes )

 

We found this recipe when our garden started giving us more zucchini than we knew what to do with, so we were looking for anything with zucchini in it. This one turned out to be a winner, and we have continued making these little croquettes.

If you wish, you can make smaller patties and use them as a wonderful appetizer.


1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 tsp baking powder
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp black pepper
1 egg
1/4 cup milk
1 cup grated carrots
1 cup grated zucchini
2 green onions, sliced
2 tbls oil

In a mixing bowl, stir together the flour, baking powder, salt, and pepper. In another bowl, beat together the egg, milk, carrots, zucchini, and onions. Add this to the dry ingredients and stir until combined.

Using a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of oil over medium heat. Pour the batter by tablespoons into the pan, making a few pancakes at a time. Cook about 2 minutes on each side and golden brown. Add the remaining oil to the pan as needed. Serve pancakes at once.
