Preheat your oven to 200°C (392°F) and line a baking tray with parchment paper.
Grate the carrot and thinly slice the cabbage, spring onion, and red bell pepper. Combine all the vegetables in a large mixing bowl.
In a separate bowl, mix together the all-purpose flour, rice flour, baking powder, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper.
Add the dry mixture to the bowl with vegetables. Mix until the vegetables are evenly coated.
Beat the egg and add it to the vegetable mixture. Then, gradually add the water while mixing until a thick but pourable batter forms.
Use a spoon to scoop portions of the batter onto the prepared baking sheet, forming small fritters. Leave enough space between each fritter to allow even cooking.
Lightly spray the tops of the fritters with olive oil spray to help them develop a golden color.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes or until the fritters are golden brown and crisp around the edges.
Remove from oven and let cool slightly before serving. Enjoy your low fat Bakwan Sayur with a side of your favorite dipping sauce.
