Ingredients

• 4 carrots, peeled and grated

• 3 eggs
• 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
• 2 tablespoons flour (all-purpose or gluten-free flour)

1. Stir together the carrot, onion, eggs, smoked paprika and flour in a mixing bowl. Season with salt and black pepper to taste. 
2. Heat about 2 to 3 tablespoons olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. (Use enough to coat the bottom of the skillet.) Place heaping tablespoons full of the carrot-onion mixture into the pan. Flatten the mounds with a spoon. 
3. Cook for about 2 to 3 minutes, or until golden on the bottom. Flip the patties over and continue to cook another 2 to 3 minutes or until cooked through. Remove to a paper towel. 
4. Serve hot with yogurt for dipping, if desired. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge. These carrot onion patties reheat nicely in an air fryer.
