Ingredients
- oil for frying
- 1 1/2 cups packed grated carrot
- 1/2 cup minced scallion
- 2 teaspoons dried dill
- 2/3 cup crumbled Feta cheese
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1/4 teaspoon ground coriander
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 3/4 cup flour
- 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 3 eggs lightly beaten
Instructions
- Heat several inches of oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 385 degrees Fahrenheit (195 degrees Celsius). Turn the heat down to medium to maintain the temperature.
- Mix the remaining ingredients in a large bowl until just combined. Working in batches, drop rounded teaspoons of the batter into the hot oil and deep fry for 2-3 minutes, or until golden brown. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain.

Notes
- To store Carrot Fritters, place them in an airtight container in the refrigerator, where they’ll stay fresh for up to 3 days. You can also freeze them for up to 2 months—just lay them flat on a baking sheet first, then transfer them to a freezer bag.
- To reheat, warm them in a 350°F (175°C) oven for 10-15 minutes until crisp, or use an air fryer for a quicker option. Avoid microwaving, as it can make them soggy.
