flour

🥗Healthier: whole wheat flour

💰Cheaper: cornmeal

Whole wheat flour adds fiber while cornmeal is often less expensive.

vegetable oil

🥗Healthier: olive oil

💰Cheaper: canola oil

Olive oil is healthier, while canola oil is a budget-friendly option.

cheese

🥗Healthier: nutritional yeast

💰Cheaper: no cheese

Nutritional yeast provides a cheesy flavor without dairy.

eggs

🥗Healthier: flaxseed meal

💰Cheaper: no eggs

Flaxseed meal can act as a binder for a vegan option.

Dice sweet onions and place in a mixing bowl.

Add black pepper, salt, paprika, and creole seasoning to the onions and mix well.

Add shredded carrots and minced garlic to the bowl and mix everything together.

Chop fresh parsley and add it to the mixture, then mix again.

Crack an egg into the mixture and stir to coat all ingredients with the egg.

Add 1/2 cup of flour to the mixture and mix until everything is well combined and sticky.

Heat vegetable oil in a pan over medium-high heat until hot.

Use a 1/3 cup measuring cup to scoop the mixture and form fritters, pressing them down slightly with the back of a spoon.

Carefully place the fritters into the hot oil, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan.

Cook the fritters for about 2-3 minutes on each side until they are golden brown and crispy.

Remove the fritters from the oil and drain on paper towels.

Garnish with green onions and fresh parsley before serving.

Serve with honey mustard, ranch, or tzatziki for dipping.
