Crispy Broccoli-Carrot Fritters with Yogurt-Dill Sauce
These quick, crispy fritters are packed with vegetables and get super crisp in the pan. Omit the red pepper if you prefer a little less heat.
I love these fritters. They're quick and easy for a week night, and they're delicious as leftovers. I've also made them substituting yellow onion for green, and added a little garlic salt. I use just a touch less flour than the recipe calls for. Packing them into a measuring cup and using that to press down into patties gives a nice shape and helps them hold together.
