Instructions
  1. Set a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the vegetable oil to the pan.
  2. Toss the zucchini, carrot, and MixQuick in a large bowl until well combined.
  3. Drop the zucchini mixture by tablespoon in the hot oil and fry until golden brown, turning once if desired. Add additional oil to the pan as needed.
  4. Remove fritters from the skillet and allow to quickly drain on a paper towel lined plate.
  5. Add salt to taste, serve immediately.
Recipe Notes

Tossing the grated zucchini with 1 tsp kosher salt (or 1/2-3/4 tsp table salt) and allowing it to drain for 30 minutes in a colander will help the fritters crisp up faster.
