Cheesy Vegetable Fritters

Ingredients

  • 2 cups mixed vegetables (grated zucchini, carrots, corn, etc.)
  • 1 small onion, finely chopped
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • ½ cup all-purpose flour (or chickpea flour for gluten-free)
  • ½ teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder (optional)
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley or coriander, chopped
  • Oil for shallow frying

Instructions

  1. Place grated zucchini (and any other watery vegetables) in a clean kitchen towel and squeeze out excess moisture.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine vegetables, onion, eggs, cheese, flour, baking powder, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and parsley. Mix until well combined.
  3. Heat a little oil in a non-stick frying pan over medium heat.
  4. Scoop 2–3 tablespoons of the mixture for each fritter and gently flatten with a spatula.
  5. Cook for 3–4 minutes on each side until golden brown and crispy.
  6. Remove and place on paper towels to drain excess oil.
  7. Serve warm with sour cream, yogurt dip, or ketchup.

If you’d like, I can also give you a baked version so they’re healthier but still crispy.
