Instructions
Grate the zucchini, carrot, and potato using a box grater.
Place the grated vegetables into a clean kitchen towel, wrap them up, and squeeze out as much liquid as possible.
Finely chop the red bell pepper and green onions. Roughly chop the cilantro.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the squeezed vegetables, red bell pepper, green onions, and cilantro.
Add the flour, baking powder, salt, black pepper, cumin, and paprika to the vegetable mixture.
Crack the egg into the bowl and mix well until everything is fully combined.
Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Scoop about 2 tablespoons of the vegetable mixture and form it into a patty. Carefully place it into the hot oil.
Repeat with the remaining mixture, cooking a few fritters at a time. Do not overcrowd the pan.
Cook each fritter for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy.
Remove the fritters from the oil and drain them on a paper towel-lined plate.
Serve the vegetable fritters warm with your favorite dipping sauce.
