🥗Healthier: whole wheat flour

oil

🥗Healthier: avocado oil

💰Cheaper: canola oil

Canola oil is often more affordable for frying.

1

Peel the carrots, cut off the ends, and grate them.

2

Wash the zucchini, peel it if it's green, and grate it, removing the ends.

3

In a bowl, crack and whisk 2 eggs, adding 1 teaspoon of salt, 1/2 teaspoon of nutmeg, 1 teaspoon of oregano, and 1 teaspoon of black pepper.

4

Mix the egg mixture well and add it to the grated carrots and zucchini in a bowl.

5

Stir everything together well.

6

To give consistency, add 4 tablespoons of almond flour to the mixture and combine.

7

Grate some cheese (type not specified) that melts well and add it to the mixture.

8

For baking in the oven, line a baking tray with parchment paper and scoop spoonfuls of the mixture, flattening them into round shapes.

9

Sprinkle some grated cheese on top and bake in a preheated oven at 180ºC (356ºF) for 20 minutes, watching for golden edges.

10

For air frying, place a piece of parchment paper on the air fryer rack and scoop spoonfuls of the mixture, flattening them slightly.

11

Sprinkle grated cheese on top and cook in the air fryer at 180ºC (356ºF) for 10 minutes without preheating.

12

Check for doneness; the oven ones should be golden on the sides, and the air fryer ones may be slightly softer underneath.
