Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup grated carrots
- 1 cup grated zucchini
- 0.5 cup finely chopped spinach
- 1 cup mashed potatoes
- 0.75 cup chickpea flour
- 0.25 cup cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon cumin powder
- 0.5 teaspoon chili flakes
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon pepper
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 cup oil for frying

Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine grated carrots, grated zucchini, chopped spinach, and mashed potatoes.
Add chickpea flour, cornstarch, garlic powder, onion powder, cumin powder, chili flakes, salt, and pepper to the vegetable mixture.
Mix thoroughly until all ingredients are combined into a dough-like consistency.
Heat olive oil in a pan over medium heat.
Scoop a small amount of the mixture and shape it into a ball, pressing gently to ensure it holds together.
Roll the ball in gluten-free breadcrumbs, coating it evenly.
Repeat the process for the remaining dough.
Heat the oil for frying in a deep pan or fryer to 350°F (175°C).
Carefully place a few vegetable balls into the hot oil and fry until they are golden brown and crispy on the outside, about 3-5 minutes.
Remove the balls from the oil and drain on a paper towel-lined plate.
Serve the crispy vegetable balls warm with your favorite dipping sauce.
