Grated, squeezed vegetables mixed with eggs, flour, cheese and spices, shaped into rounds and baked on a greased pan, flipped halfway, until the fritters are golden and crisp.
Preheat the oven to 200°C (390°F). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and brush with the olive oil.
⚙ Preheating the OvenOven
💡Put things in the oven only once it's reached temperature, after the heating light has gone off: an oven that hasn't reached temperature changes baking times, and the bake burns outside or stays underbaked.

Mix the vegetable, eggs, flour, salt and black pepper.

Shape the mixture into flat rounds, place on the pan and brush lightly with oil.
