Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Grate the carrots.

- Add the minced garlic, chopped parsley, and scallions to the dry ingredients. Mix well to evenly distribute the components.
- Crack the eggs into the mixture and stir until fully combined.

- In a large frying pan, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
- Scoop out spoonfuls of the carrot mixture and form them into small patties (about 2 inches in diameter).

- Fry each patty for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy.
- Once cooked, transfer the fritters to a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.
- Serve hot with your favorite dipping sauce or enjoy them as they are.
Tips:
- Grate carrots finely for a better texture and to ensure even cooking.
- Drain any excess moisture from the grated carrots by squeezing them in a clean cloth or using a fine mesh strainer.
- Mix all the ingredients well to evenly distribute the flavors.
- Use a non-stick skillet to prevent the fritters from sticking and to use less oil.
- Cook on medium heat to ensure the fritters are cooked through without burning the outside.
- Experiment with additional seasonings like paprika or chili flakes for a spicy kick.
