Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 medium zucchini
- 2 medium carrots
- 1 large red bell pepper
- 3 stalks green onions
- 1 cup chickpea flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 cup water
- 0.25 cup olive oil (for frying)
Instructions
Grate the zucchini and carrots using a box grater. Place the grated vegetables into a clean kitchen towel and squeeze out as much excess water as possible. Transfer to a large mixing bowl.
Chop the red bell pepper into small pieces and finely slice the green onions. Add these to the bowl with the zucchini and carrots.
In a separate bowl, mix together the chickpea flour, baking powder, ground cumin, garlic powder, sea salt, and black pepper.
Gradually add the dry mixture to the vegetables, along with the water, and stir until everything is well combined and forms a batter-like consistency.
Heat the olive oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat.
Once the oil is hot, use a spoon to drop heaping tablespoons of the vegetable batter into the skillet, spreading them slightly to form fritters. Cook for 3-4 minutes or until the edges look golden and crispy.
Carefully flip the fritters and cook the other side for another 3-4 minutes, until crispy and cooked through.
Transfer the cooked fritters to a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.
Repeat the process with the remaining batter.
Serve hot with your favorite dairy-free dipping sauce or a squeeze of fresh lemon juice.
