🥗 Crispy Vegetable Fritters Recipe

These fritters are crunchy on the outside, soft inside, and packed with fresh veggies. You can shallow-fry, air-fry, or bake them!

🛒 Ingredients (Makes 10–12 fritters)

Vegetables (grated or finely chopped):

• 1 cup zucchini (squeezed to remove water)

• 1 cup carrot

• ½ cup corn kernels

• ½ cup finely chopped onion

• ½ cup bell peppers (any color)

• 2 tablespoons fresh coriander or parsley

Binding Ingredients:

• 2 large eggs

• ½ cup all-purpose flour or chickpea flour or oat flour

• ½ teaspoon salt

• ½ teaspoon black pepper

• ½ teaspoon paprika

• ½ teaspoon garlic powder

• ½ teaspoon cumin powder (optional)

• ½ teaspoon baking powder (optional — for fluffiness)

For Frying:

• 3–4 tablespoons oil (olive oil or any neutral oil)

👩‍🍳 Instructions

1. Prepare the Vegetables

• Grate the zucchini, then squeeze out extra water using your hands or a clean towel.

• Grate carrots and chop remaining vegetables.

• Add all veggies into a mixing bowl.

2. Make the Batter

Add to the veggies:

• Eggs

• Flour

• Salt

• Pepper

• Paprika

• Garlic powder

• Cumin

• Baking powder (optional)

Mix until everything is well combined.
If the mixture seems too wet, add 1–2 tbsp more flour.

3. Shape and Fry

Heat 2–3 tbsp oil in a non-stick pan.

Take a spoonful of mixture, place it on the pan, and spread it slightly to form a patty.

Fry on medium heat for 3–4 minutes per side until:

• Golden

• Crispy

• Cooked through

Add more oil as needed.

🍽️ Serve

Serve hot with any dip:

• Garlic yogurt sauce

• Sweet chili sauce

• Tzatziki

• Ketchup

• Mayo + lemon

🌿 Air Fryer Option

• Preheat air fryer to 190°C (375°F).

• Arrange patties on a greased tray.

• Spray lightly with oil.

• Air fry 8–10 minutes per side or until crispy.

🔥 Baked Option

• Preheat oven to 200°C (400°F).

• Bake 15–18 minutes per side, until crisp and golden.

⭐ Tips for Extra Crispiness

• Always squeeze water from zucchini.

• Keep heat medium—not too high.
