Crispy Vegetable Fritters (2024)

These crispy vegetable fritters are packed with broccoli, carrots, and zucchini. Dip each delicious appetizer fritter into the creamy avocado yogurt sauce.

I feel like vegetables never get enough praise, so today I’m going to let them shine! As a food scientist, it still amazes me howhealthy, and wholesome food can nourish our bodies. You know I love my sweet desserts, but today it’s all about carrots, broccoli, and zucchini. We’re going to combine them for crispy, golden brown, and super delicious vegetable fritters!

When these little guys are hot right out of the pan, you’re going to be tempted to eat them immediately. Before you eat all of these crunchy vegetable fritters straight out of the pan, I recommend whipping up a super creamy avocado yogurt sauce so you can dip and bite, then dip and taste again and again…

Good ole fashion Plain Greek yogurt is an excellent way to add creaminess to a homemade dipping sauce. It has the flavor similar to sour cream, but with less fat and higher protein. A nice healthier alternative without the sacrifice in flavor.

I used my trusty ruby red blender to create a super smooth avocado yogurt sauce. Then I stirred in some fresh chopped dill and chives to add an earthy and sweet flavor to the sauce. This cool and creamy sauce is a nice complement to those warm crispy vegetable fritters. You’ll want to make sure you made enough because you’re going to want to dip each bite.

Making thesevegetable fritter appetizers are pretty straightforward. This working mom has no shame in buying pre-shredded carrots and broccoli slaw (broccoli stems cut into matchstick pieces). It certainly saved me time from peeling and chopping so I could start devouring each fritter a little bit sooner!

Each fritter is packed with flavor since the vegetables are pretty neutral in taste. I wanted to add some bold spices to the mix. Hello, cumin, chili pepper, garlic, and green onions. These add nice savory spices to the fritters. Now with a little Parmesan cheese, it all comes together into one happy patty.

You can use any flour you like to bind the fritters together and add a crispy texture. I’ve tried both all-purpose flour and white whole wheat flour. I found the fritters to be slightly more lite and crispy with the all-purpose flour. However, if you’re looking to add whole grain flour to the dish, whole wheat, and white whole wheat are excellent alternatives.

The garden goddesses are smiling with each bite of vegetable fritter. I made these as a side dish for dinner, and I couldn’t stop eating them! This is certainly a quick vegetable packed and a super yummy dish that you can make any day of the week.
