Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup grated zucchini
- 1 cup grated carrots
- 1/2 cup finely chopped bell pepper (any color)
- 1/2 cup finely chopped onion
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup cornmeal
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon paprika
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley (optional)
- Vegetable oil for frying
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the grated zucchini, grated carrots, chopped bell pepper, and chopped onion. Mix well to combine.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, cornmeal, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, black pepper, and paprika.
- Add the dry ingredients to the vegetable mixture and stir until just combined.
- Beat the eggs in a small bowl and then add them to the mixture, stirring until everything is well incorporated. If using, fold in the chopped parsley.
- Heat about 1/4 inch of vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once the oil is hot, drop spoonfuls of the batter into the skillet, flattening them slightly with the back of the spoon.
- Fry the fritters for about 3-4 minutes on each side or until golden brown and crispy. Remove from the skillet and drain on paper towels.
- Serve warm with your favorite dipping sauce.
Notes
- For a gluten-free version, substitute all-purpose flour with a gluten-free flour blend.
- Add spices like cumin or chili powder for a spicy kick, or incorporate cheese for extra flavor.
