Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 medium zucchini
- 1 large carrot
- 0.5 medium red bell pepper
- 3 stalks green onions
- 0.25 cup fresh parsley
- 0.5 cup chickpea flour
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon cumin powder
- 0.25 cup water
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
Instructions
Grate the zucchini and squeeze out excess moisture using a clean kitchen towel.
Grate the carrot and finely chop the red bell pepper. Thinly slice the green onions and finely chop the fresh parsley.
In a large bowl, combine grated zucchini, carrot, red bell pepper, green onions, and parsley.
In a separate bowl, whisk together chickpea flour, cornstarch, baking powder, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and cumin powder.
Add the dry mixture to the vegetables, then add water. Mix until well combined and a thick batter forms.
Heat 1-2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat.
Scoop 2 tablespoons of the vegetable batter into the skillet for each fritter. Flatten them slightly with the back of a spoon.
Cook the fritters for 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown and crispy.
Remove fritters from the skillet and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
Repeat with remaining batter, adding more olive oil to the skillet as needed.
Serve the fritters warm, optionally with a dairy-free yogurt or dip of your choice.
