Instructions

• Vegetable Fritters-
• Bring 4 cups of water to a boil in a medium-sized saucepan.
• Cook broccoli, carrots and zucchini for 4 minutes; drain.
• Pat broccoli mixture dry with paper towels; roughly chop so that fritter can hold together when formed. Place broccoli mixture and flour in a large bowl; stir to coat.
• Stir in cheese, salt, pepper, cumin, garlic salt, chili powder, and onions into the broccoli mixture. Stir in the whisked egg until the broccoli mixture is evenly combined.
• Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add oil to pan; swirl to coat.
• Form ¼ cup of the broccoli mixture by hand into a ball.
• Add ball into a pan and flatten slightly with a spatula; cook 3 to 4 fritters at a time. Cook each fritter 4 minutes on each side or until golden brown.
• Transfer to a plate with a paper towel to soak up the excess oil. Repeat procedure for the rest of the fritters.
• Avocado Yogurt Sauce-
• In a blender, combine yogurt, avocado, dill and chives in a small bowl. Serve yogurt mixture with fritters.
