Ingredients
- 2 cups mixed vegetables (e.g., zucchini, carrots, bell peppers, grated)
- 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar or mozzarella)
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup cornmeal (optional, for extra crunch)
- 2 large eggs
- 2 green onions, chopped
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Oil for frying
Instructions
- Prepare the Vegetables:
If using fresh vegetables, grate or finely chop them. Squeeze out any excess moisture using a clean kitchen towel. - Mix Ingredients:
In a large bowl, combine the mixed vegetables, shredded cheese, flour, cornmeal, eggs, green onions, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined. - Heat the Oil:
In a large skillet, heat about 1/4 inch of oil over medium heat until hot. - Fry the Fritters:
Using a spoon or your hands, form small patties with the vegetable mixture. Carefully place them in the hot oil, frying in batches to avoid overcrowding. Cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown. - Drain:
Once cooked, remove the fritters from the skillet and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil. - Serve:
Serve warm with your favorite dipping sauce, such as ranch or yogurt sauce.
Enjoy your delicious cheesy vegetable fritters!
