I am lucky to have a recipe box full of recipes from my deceased Grandmother.  
The recipes are written in her neat handwriting, along with a few splats from cooking long ago in her kitchen.  I love to pull them out and read through these recipes.  
Some of the recipes, I have tried and remember well.  Others, like this one, are new to me.  
Almost all of the recipes are written in my Grandmother’s shorthand:  Ingredients are missing key information…like the measurement needed of the main ingredients.  
She made these recipes so often that she just knew how much of items to add.  When I saw this Zucchini Puff recipe, I knew that I could make a few minor additions and change just a bit to make her recipe a Carrot recipe. 
Carrot Vegetable Puffs recipe

Carrot Veggie Puffs:
One cup shredded carrots
one cup shredded zucchini
One half cup shredded onion
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
2 eggs
1/2 cup milk
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1/2 teaspoon parsley flakes
4 Tablespoons flour
cooking oil
 
Shred the carrots, onion, and zucchini using a grater.  
Kids should be closely supervised for this task, but given instruction, can definitely do this job.  
Show them how to hold the vegetables and slowly grate the vegetables.  I did shred the onion to avoid any hurt fingers because of the smaller size of our onions.  If you are concerned about kids using a grater on vegetables, this safety grater
is perfect for kids!
 
Combine the vegetables, salt, and pepper in a bowl or large measuring cup.
Beat the eggs in a bowl.  Big Sister (age 7) had a little bit of a surprise when she cracked the egg and the shell broke into the bowl!  
Stir in the milk, grated Parmesan cheese, and parsley flakes.  Add the flour and beat well to make a batter. 
Add the vegetables to the batter mixture and mix well.  
Drop by large spoonfuls into hot oil until golden brown on both sides.  
This is a part of the recipe that I did, to avoid oil splatters on the kids.  
Older kids can do this job with supervision and instruction.
Pat dry on paper towels.
