Tip: Squeeze the grated zucchini and sweet potatoes well to avoid a watery mixture.

🥄 Preparation:

1. Prepare the Zucchini:

Grate the zucchinis and sprinkle them with a pinch of sea salt.

Let them sit for 10 minutes to draw out moisture, then squeeze out the excess water using a clean towel or cheesecloth.

2. Prepare the Sweet Potatoes:

Grate the sweet potatoes and place them in a bowl of cold water to prevent browning.

After a few minutes, drain and squeeze out the moisture thoroughly.

Chop the parsley.

In a large mixing bowl, combine:

Grated and drained zucchinis

Grated and drained sweet potatoes

Onion, carrot, parsley

Ground black pepper

Breadcrumbs

Mix everything together until you get a smooth, slightly firm mixture that holds its shape.

🍽️ Form and Fry:

Shape the mixture into small, even patties.

Heat olive oil in a pan over medium heat.

Fry the patties for 3–4 minutes on each side, until golden and crispy.

🥗 Serving:

Place the patties on a paper towel to remove excess oil.

Serve warm with sour cream, yogurt dip, or a fresh salad.
