Instructions
- Line a baking sheet with waxed paper.

- Transfer vegetable mixture to a food processor. Pulse until it’s chunky but comes together. Add panko, cheddar and eggs, and pulse until combined. Scoop 1/3 cup of the batter and shape into a patty about 3 in. wide and 3/4 in. high. Repeat with remaining batter to make 10 patties. Place on prepared sheet.
- Wipe same pan clean and set over medium. Add oil, then patties, about 5 at a time. (You may need to do this in several batches.) Cook until golden, 2 to 4 min per side. Transfer to a platter. Repeat with remaining patties.
- Stir yogurt with parsley and lemon juice. Serve with fritters.
