Crispy Carrot Pancakes
How to Make Deliciously Crispy Carrot Pancakes
Introducing Carrot Pancakes, a dish packed with nutrients and boasting a myriad of health benefits! These pancakes are wonderfully crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, making them a delightful snack or side dish.
Ingredients- 1/2 medium carrot
- 2 Tbsp potato starch
- Cooking oil, for frying
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
Begin by thoroughly washing and peeling half of a medium-sized carrot. Next, julienne the carrot as thinly as possible. Thinly sliced carrots will ensure a crispier texture once cooked.
Step 2
Place the thinly sliced carrots into a mixing bowl. Add 2 tablespoons of potato starch and gently toss to coat the carrots evenly. This mixture will form your pancake batter. The starch helps bind the carrots and contributes to their crispiness.
Step 3
Heat a generous amount of cooking oil in a frying pan over medium-low heat. Once the oil is shimmering, carefully spread a thin layer of the carrot batter onto the pan. It’s important to spread it thinly to ensure even cooking and a crispy result. Pan-fry until golden brown on both sides. For an extra crispy pancake, gently press down on the edges with your spatula as you flip it. Keep an eye on the heat to prevent burning.
Step 4
Once perfectly golden and crispy, transfer the carrot pancakes to a paper towel-lined plate for a moment to drain any excess oil. Finally, arrange them beautifully on a serving plate. These simple carrot pancakes are a delight! Their thinness makes them easy to eat in one bite, and their natural sweetness combined with the satisfying crunch makes them a hit with both children and adults. Enjoy them as they are, or serve with a side of soy-based dipping sauce.
