Instructions

Making Oatmeal & Veggie Fritter Bites is a straightforward process. Follow these steps:

1. Prepare Your Ingredients: Grate the zucchini, carrots, and chop the bell peppers and onion.
2. Combine Oats: In a large mixing bowl, put the rolled oats.
3. Add Grated Veggies: Add the grated zucchini, carrots, chopped bell peppers, and onion to the bowl.
4. Mix in Herbs: Stir in the chopped fresh herbs.
5. Incorporate Eggs: Crack the eggs into the mixture and mix until well combined.
6. Add Flour and Seasonings: Sprinkle in the flour, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Stir the mixture until evenly incorporated.
7. Heat Oil: If you’re frying, heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add a small amount of olive oil or use cooking spray.
8. Form Fritters: Scoop out a tablespoon of the mixture, shape it into a patty, and place it in the skillet. Repeat until the skillet is filled, leaving space between each fritter.
9. Cook Fritters: Fry for about 3-4 minutes on each side or until golden brown. Remove and set aside on paper towels to drain any excess oil.
10. Bake Option: If baking, preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C), line a baking sheet with parchment paper, form the fritters, and place them on the sheet. Bake for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through until golden brown.

Following these simple steps ensures that you will have delicious fritter bites ready in no time!
