Squeeze as much liquid out of the zucchini as you can. Use your hands or a kitchen towel. Discard the liquid.
Grate carrots on a box grater or in a food processor and add to the zucchini.
Add egg, flour, baking powder, chopped chives and some salt and pepper to taste and combine.
Form equal patties of the mix and heat oil in a skillet.
Place about 4 patties in the oil and pan-fry for 3-4 minutes on each side. Do the same with the other 4 patties.
Serve the Zucchini Carrot Fritters with a dollop of creme fraiche, sour cream or drained yogurt.

Grate the vegetables coarse; it will give more flavor and texture to the fritters.
This recipe will make about 8 patties, but of course you can make them thicker or thinner. Make sure you adjust the pan-frying time.
