Vegetable Fritters Recipe

Ingredients:

• 2 medium zucchinis, grated
• 1 large carrot, grated
• 1 cup corn kernels (fresh or frozen)
• 1 small onion, finely chopped
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1/2 cup all-purpose flour (or chickpea flour for a gluten-free option)
• 2 large eggs
• 1/4 cup grated cheese (optional, cheddar, parmesan, or feta work well)
• 1 tsp baking powder
• 1/2 tsp cumin (optional, for added flavor)
• 1/4 tsp paprika (optional)
• Salt and pepper, to taste
• 2-3 tbsp olive oil (for frying)
• Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
• Greek yogurt or sour cream (optional, for dipping)

Instructions:

Step 1: Prepare the Vegetables

1. Grate the zucchini and carrot: Grate the zucchini and carrot using a box grater or food processor. Place them in a clean kitchen towel or paper towel and squeeze out any excess moisture.
2. Prepare the corn: If you’re using frozen corn, thaw it and drain any excess liquid. If using fresh corn, cut the kernels off the cob.

Step 2: Mix the Batter

1. In a large bowl, combine the grated zucchini, grated carrot, corn, chopped onion, and minced garlic.
2. In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, flour, baking powder, cheese (if using), cumin, paprika, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Stir the wet ingredients into the vegetable mixture until everything is well combined.
