Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 medium Zucchini
- 1 medium Carrot
- 0.5 medium Red bell pepper
- 50 grams Baby spinach
- 2 stalks Green onions
- 2 cloves Garlic
- 50 grams Whole wheat flour
- 2 tablespoons Cornstarch
- 1 large Egg
- 0.5 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Smoked paprika
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
Instructions
Begin by grating the zucchini using a box grater. Place the grated zucchini in a clean kitchen towel and squeeze out as much moisture as possible, then set aside.
Peel and grate the carrot. Finely chop the red bell pepper, spinach, green onions, and garlic.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the grated zucchini, grated carrot, chopped red bell pepper, spinach, green onions, and garlic.
Add the whole wheat flour, cornstarch, egg, baking powder, black pepper, smoked paprika, and ground cumin to the vegetable mixture. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly combined.
Heat olive oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat.
Using a tablespoon or an ice cream scoop, drop portions of the vegetable mixture into the hot skillet. Gently flatten each fritter with a spatula.
Cook the fritters for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and crispy. Avoid overcrowding the skillet; cook in batches if necessary.
Once cooked, transfer the fritters to a plate lined with paper towels to absorb any excess oil.
Serve hot and enjoy these low sodium crispy vegetable fritters with your favorite low-sodium dipping sauce.
