We're transforming Cheesy Hash Browns, traditionally crafted with flour, into a keto-compatible delight. We've removed flour from the ingredient list and replaced it with a modest amount of breadcrumbs and an abundance of cheese. Get ready for a delicious treat!
Wash the carrots and zucchini thoroughly, then grate them using the thin side of the grater. Place them on a plate, sprinkle them with salt, and set them aside. While the vegetables are draining, grate the halloumi cheese.
Finely chop the scallions, fresh mint, and fresh coriander. By now, the vegetables should have released their juices. Strain the liquid and squeeze the grated vegetables with the palm of your hand to remove excess moisture.
Once the vegetables are thoroughly dry, transfer them to a large mixing bowl. Add the shredded halloumi, finely chopped greens, breadcrumbs, seasonings, and 2 beaten eggs.
Mix the ingredients well, then refrigerate the mixture for half an hour. Preheat a deep-fry skillet and add a generous amount of oil to fry the hash browns. Remove the chilled mixture from the refrigerator and shape it into hash browns. Form small round shapes for the cheesy hash browns.
Once the oil is hot, fry both sides of the cheesy hash browns until golden brown. Enjoy your delicious keto-friendly treat!

Notes
If you shape the mixture into large pieces to create thick hash browns, you might end up with excessively oily results, especially when frying at high heat. To avoid this, it's best to form thin, flat rounds that are not overly large.
Once the hash browns are golden brown on both sides, remove them from the skillet, allow them to drain excess oil on a paper towel, and then serve.
Any dip with yogurt makes the perfect accompaniment.
Do not skip the salting step, as it helps the vegetables release water, which is essential for forming smooth patties. After salting, take the grated vegetables in your palm and squeeze them thoroughly to remove excess water.
If you prefer not to use fresh coriander, you can substitute it with 1/2 tsp of ground coriander. Alternatively, if you're not a fan of coriander's flavor, you can use an equal amount of fresh parsley instead.
