Prepare the 2 beets and squeeze out excess liquid with your hands so the mixture does not get watery.
Add the egg, flour, and greens to the mixture and stir for 2 minutes, until thick.
Rest the mixture for 5 minutes so the flour absorbs moisture and it does not fall apart in the pan.
Heat the oil over medium heat for 2 minutes and drop small spoonfuls of the mixture into the pan.
Cook the portions over medium heat for a total of 7 minutes, until both sides are browned.
Transfer the portions to paper towel, rest for 3 minutes, and serve warm.
💡 Tip: Squeezing the grated beet reduces how much the fritters fall apart.
🍽️ Serving suggestion: Serve at room temperature to bring out the flavor; add crisp bread or lavash slices on the side.
