Ingredients

  • ½ lb (220 grams) carrots, grated
  • 1 small egg
  • 4 tablespoon all-purpose flour, plus more if needed
  • 1 garlic clove, grated
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 2 tablespoon coriander leaves, chopped (optional)
  • ½ teaspoon fine salt
  • ⅛ teaspoon black pepper (optional)

YOGURT-HUMMUS DIP

  • ½ cup (120 ml) hummus
  • ½ cup (120 ml) plain yogurt
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 400℉/200℃ and grease or line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Using a food processor or a box grater, grate the carrots, then drain and squeeze them with a paper towel to remove the excess moisture. Add them to a bowl.
  • Add the remaining ingredients to the grated carrots and mix until well combined. If the mixture is still wet and difficult to handle, you might add more flour.
  • Place a heaping tablespoon of the mixture on the baking sheet and flatten slightly with your hand. 
  • Bake the fritters in the preheated oven for about 12 minutes, then turn them over and bake for a further 12 minutes, or until golden and crispy. Check your oven; the baking time might be slightly different.
  • Yogurt-hummus dip: Make a super easy yogurt-hummus dip by simply mixing plain yogurt, hummus, and lemon juice.
  • Serve the fritters with the yogurt-hummus dip. They're best when freshly baked, but they can also be served cold. Enjoy!
