Here’s a tasty recipe for crispy vegetable fritters that are perfect as a snack or appetizer!
Ingredients
- For the Fritters:
- 1 cup grated zucchini (about 1 medium zucchini)
- 1 cup grated carrots (about 1-2 medium carrots)
- 1/2 cup corn (fresh or frozen)
- 1/2 cup finely chopped bell pepper (any color)
- 1/4 cup green onions, chopped
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup cornmeal (optional, for extra crunch)
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Oil for frying (vegetable or olive oil)
Instructions
- Prepare the Vegetables:
- Grate the zucchini and carrots, then squeeze out excess moisture using a clean kitchen towel or cheesecloth.
- Mix the Batter:
- In a large bowl, combine the grated zucchini, grated carrots, corn, bell pepper, and green onions.
- Add the flour, cornmeal (if using), eggs, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Mix until everything is well combined. The mixture should be thick and hold together.
- Heat the Oil:
- In a large skillet, heat about 1/4 inch of oil over medium-high heat. To check if the oil is ready, drop a small amount of batter into the oil; it should sizzle.
- Fry the Fritters:
- Using a spoon or small ice cream scoop, drop spoonfuls of the batter into the hot oil, flattening them slightly with the back of the spoon. Do not overcrowd the pan.
- Fry for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy. Remove and drain on paper towels.
- Serve:
- Serve the fritters warm with your favorite dipping sauce, such as yogurt sauce, sour cream, or a spicy aioli.
Tips
- Feel free to mix in other vegetables like shredded cabbage, spinach, or grated sweet potato.
- To make them healthier, you can bake the fritters at 400°F (200°C) for about 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through.
Enjoy your crispy vegetable fritters! They’re delicious and perfect for any occasion!
