Ingredients


4 tbsp All-purpose white flour (or flour of choice)
1/4 tsp Black pepper
1 cup grated Carrots
2 medium egg Egg
1 tbsp Extra virgin olive oil (for cooking)
1/4 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
1/2 tsp Parsley, dried
1/2 cup Partly skimmed milk, 2% M.F.
1/4 tsp Salt
1/2 cup Yellow onion (grated)
1 cup grated Zucchini

Instructions


Shred the carrots, onion, and zucchini using a grater. (Kids should be closely supervised for this task, but given instruction, can definitely do this job. Show them how to hold the vegetables and slowly grate the vegetables. I did shred the onion to avid any hurt fingers because of the smaller size of our onions. If you are concerned about kids using a grater on vegetables, there is a safety grater that is perfect for kids!)

Combine the vegetables, salt, and pepper in a bowl or large measuring cup.

Beat the eggs in a bowl. Stir in the milk, grated Parmesan cheese, and parsley flakes. Add the flour and beat well to make a batter.

Add the vegetables to the batter mixture and mix well.

Drop by large spoonfuls into hot oil until golden brown on both sides. This is a part of the recipe that I did, in case the oil splattered.

Pat dry on paper towels. Serve warm and watch the kids enjoy an extra vegetable serving with this pancake-like vegetable puff!
