    To start, grate the zucchini and allow it to stand for about 15 minutes. This step is crucial as it helps remove excess water from the zucchini, ensuring our meatballs aren’t too soggy.

    2: Mixing the IngredientsAfter draining, squeeze out any remaining water from the zucchini and add the grated carrot. Next, incorporate the eggs, cheese, parsley, grated potato, and garlic into the mixture. Season it with salt, black pepper, Herbes de Provence, and a dash of paprika for that extra kick.

    Now, it’s time to introduce the secret ingredient – oatmeal! Grind the oatmeal in a blender until you achieve a fine consistency, then add it to the mixture. Mix everything well and let it rest for about 15 minutes, allowing the oatmeal flakes to swell.

    3: Forming and Frying the MeatballsOnce the mixture has rested, start forming small meatballs. Coat each meatball with flour to give them a nice, crispy texture. Heat a pan with olive oil and fry the meatballs for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until they turn golden brown and cooked through.

    Making the Delicious Sauce:
    To complement our delectable Zucchini Meatballs with Oat Flakes, we’ll prepare a mouthwatering sauce:
    Mix 2 tablespoons of sour cream or yogurt with 1 tablespoon of mayonnaise.
