Carrot Latkes (Pancakes)

Ingredients

• Oil for frying, or as needed
• 2 cups grated carrots
• 6 green onions, chopped
• 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
• 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
• 3 eggs
• 3/4 teaspoon salt
• 1 pinch freshly ground black pepper

Directions

Pour about 1/2-inch depth of oil in a large saucepan or electric skillet and heat to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

Mix carrots, green onion, flour, and baking powder together in a bowl until carrots are evenly coated. Beat eggs, salt, and pepper together in a separate bowl; pour over carrot mixture. Stir mixture until combined and moistened.

Spoon small mounds of carrot mixture, working in batches, into the hot oil; cook until browned, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Transfer latkes using a slotted spoon to a paper towel-lined plate.
