Quick and easy healthy carrot and sweet potato fritters that can be vegan and made without egg. My kids love this recipe, plus it’s Whole30 and Paleo.

Ingredients

Scale

For the Fritters

  • 2 cups shredded carrots (about 3 medium-size carrots)
  • 2 cups shredded sweet potatoes (about 1 large sweet potato)
  • 1–2 tsp of salt, to taste
  • 2 tsp ground ginger
  • 2/3 cup flour (I used almond flour)
  • 2 eggs, beaten
  • up to 1/3 cup coconut oil (for frying)

For the Dipping Sauce

  • 1/4 cup mayo (I use homemade fail-proof mayo)
  • 1/4 tsp lemon juice
  • up to 1/4 tsp salt
  • up to 1/4 tsp garlic powder
  • up to 1/4 tsp onion powder
  • 4 green onions, sliced (optional, for garnish and color)

Instructions

For the Fritters

  1. Combine shredded carrots, shredded sweet potatoes and spices in a large bowl. Use your hands to mix well so the spices are evenly distributed.
  2. Add the flour and again, mix well so it’s evenly distributed.
  3. Meanwhile, preheat a skillet to medium heat and melt 2-3 Tbsp coconut oil.
  4. Crack the two eggs into a mug and whip using a fork. Add the eggs to the vegetables and use your hands to mix everything together well.
  5. When the skillet is hot (test a drop of water to see if it will sizzle), use slightly less than 1/4 cup of mixture to make a patty in your hands. Make sure the patty is uniform in thickness throughout so it cooks evenly.
  6. Place the patty on the skillet and cook undisturbed for 2-3 minutes, until the bottom is golden brown. Use a pancake flipper to carefully lift the fritter up and flip over. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until both sides are evenly cooked.
  7. Repeat with the remaining fritter mixture.
  8. Put cooked fritters on a plate lined with paper towels and serve hot.

For the Dipping Sauce

  1. While the fritters are cooking, combine the mayo, lemon juice, 1/8 tsp salt, 1/8 tsp garlic powder, 1/8 tsp onion powder and green onions (if using) in a small bowl. Stir well so the flavors can combine.
  2. Taste and adjust seasonings as desired when the fritters are done.
