Place carrots in a large bowl. Add in flour, salt, pepper, dried parsley, and egg. Combine thoroughly; it should form a thick lumpy mixture.
Heat a pan to medium heat and add 2 teaspoons oil.
Scoop generous heaped tablespoons of the mixture into the pan and flatten into fritter shapes. Cook for about 3 minutes on each side. If they start to burn too quickly, reduce the heat.
Repeat with the remaining batter until done, adding a little extra oil to the pan as necessary. The oil helps to add flavor and a slight crispness to the fritters.
