Stack Cup

We love making use of carrots here at Monash FODMAP - not only are they FODMAP free, but they are extremely versatile in the kitchen. Our carrot fritters are a perfect way to use up old carrots, and can be stored in the freezer to be enjoyed at a later date!

For those who are following a vegan diet, see our hints section.

ingredients
6 medium sized carrots, grated 774 g 27.3 oz
1/4 cup greens of spring onion 16 g 0.6 oz
1 tsp cumin seeds 3 g 0.1 oz
1 tsp coriander seeds 3 g 0.1 oz
1/2 cup coriander, chopped 31 g 1.1 oz
2 eggs, whisked (see hints for vegan options) 102 g 3.6 oz
1/2 cup flour, white* 70 g 2.5 oz
1/2 tsp sea salt
2 tbs extra virgin olive oil 37 g 1.3 oz
Extra herbs for garnish (e.g. dill, parsley)

Method

In a medium sized bowl, mix together the carrots, spring onion greens, spices, coriander, flour, whisked eggs and salt. Stir until combined.
Heat 1 tbs olive oil in a medium-large sized fry pan on medium heat. Use a dessert spoon to scoop out the mixture into balls and place into the pan. Push down with the back of the spoon to flatten the balls into patties. This will need to be done in batches. Fry until golden - approximately 2-3 minutes on each side.
Once fritters are cooked, place on a plate lined with paper towel to absorb the excess oil.
Repeat step 2 for the next batch of fritters. Place the first batch of fritters in the oven at a low temperature if you wish to keep them warm while the second batch is cooking.
Serve immediately once all fritters are cooked and garnish with desired herbs.

Hints

*This serving size of wheat flour is safe across the 4 serves of fritters. If you are gluten-free, simply substitute the wheat flour for a gluten free flour
Vegan: substitute the egg for a flax egg. To make the flax egg, whisk together 1 tbs flax seed meal to 2.5 tbs water. Sit for a few minutes until it thickens and add in step 1 where you would usually add the egg.
These fritters can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to one week or frozen for later use!
