Carrot Balls
Description
The appetizer is quick and easy to make. I make the carrot balls from boiled and raw carrot, and I put a ball of mozzarella inside. If you don’t have that cheese, you can replace it with soft processed or cream cheese, as well as dried fruit or nuts. This is an original, tasty, and simple appetizer for a festive table. Serve with herbs and sauce.

3. Pinch together the edges of the carrot ball so the filling is inside. Heat the deep fryer: pour in a liter of odorless refined sunflower oil, heat it thoroughly, and only then lower in the carrot balls.

4. Fry the appetizer for about 5–7 minutes, stirring constantly. Transfer the balls to a paper towel to remove excess fat. Place the balls on a plate and serve.
