These very lightly breaded and fried carrot fritters are the perfect vehicle for delicious toppings. They also make great low-carb "buns" for burgers and they're delicious on their own.

Ingredients
4mediumcarrots, shaved
1egg
1tablespoonall-purpose flour
salt and pepper, to taste
neutral cooking oil as needed
Instructions
In a medium bowl, mix the carrots, egg and flour together with a fork until the carrots look evenly coated. Season with salt and pepper. Add ½ teaspoon of oil to the pan and use a spatula to evenly coat the surface. Use a fork to twirl about ¼ cup of the carrot mixture around the tines like you would spaghetti, then plop into the pan. Basically you just want a big clump of carrot that looks fritter-like—it doesn’t have to be the perfect twirl.
I cooked three fritters at a time, flipping after about 2 minutes. They should develop a nice golden crust on the bottom and be fairly easy to flip over. Cook for another 1-2 minutes, remove from heat and repeat with the rest of the carrot mixture. I made 12 fritters in 4 batches of 3, adding ½ a teaspoon of oil every other batch.
Eat topped with an egg + avocado or with a veggie burger!
