• 1 medium potato (about 1 cup grated), peeled
• 1 medium carrot (about ½ cup grated), peeled
• 1/2 teaspoon salt, plus more for salting zucchini
• 1/4 cup all-purpose flour (or gluten-free flour blend)

• For Serving (Optional):

  • Directions

    1. 1. Grate the zucchini, potato, and carrot using a box grater or food processor. Place the grated zucchini in a colander, sprinkle with about ½ teaspoon of salt, and let it sit for 10-15 minutes to draw out excess moisture.
       2. While the zucchini is draining, place the grated potato and carrot into a clean kitchen towel or cheesecloth. Squeeze out as much liquid as possible from them.

    

    1. After 10-15 minutes, firmly squeeze the excess water from the grated zucchini using a clean kitchen towel or cheesecloth. This step is crucial for crispy rolls!
    2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the squeezed zucchini, potato, and carrot.
    3. Add the flour, lightly beaten egg, chopped parsley (or chives), minced garlic (if using), black pepper, and dried herbs (if using) to the bowl. Mix thoroughly until all ingredients are well combined and a cohesive mixture forms. If the mixture still feels too wet, add another tablespoon of flour.
