Step 1

1. Prepare the Vegetables: • Grate the zucchini, carrot, and potato. Place the grated vegetables in a clean kitchen towel or paper towel and squeeze out as much excess water as possible. This step is crucial for crispy fritters. • In a large mixing bowl, combine the grated vegetables, chopped onion, parsley or cilantro, and corn kernels. 2. Make the Batter: • In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, cornmeal (if using), baking powder, cumin, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. • In another small bowl, whisk together the egg and milk. If using a flax egg, combine 1 tablespoon of ground flaxseed with 3 tablespoons of water and let it sit for 5 minutes to thicken. • Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. • Add the vegetable mixture to the batter and mix until everything is well coated. 3. Cook the Fritters: • Heat a generous amount of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. • Scoop about 2 tablespoons of the vegetable mixture into the skillet and flatten it slightly to form a fritter. • Cook for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy. Fry in batches, being careful not to overcrowd the pan. • Transfer the cooked fritters to a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil. 4. Serve: • Serve the crispy veggie fritters hot, with lemon wedges on the side and your favorite dipping sauce. • These fritters are perfect as a starter, snack, or even a light meal 200+ Vegetarian Recipes Book Link In My Bio
