Ingredients

• 1 medium zucchini
• 1 medium carrot
• 0.5 medium yellow onion
• 0.75 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1 large egg
• 0.25 cup milk
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon ground cumin
• 0.25 cup vegetable oil
• 2 tablespoons chopped parsley

Directions

Step 1

Begin by grating the zucchini and carrot into a large mixing bowl.

Step 2

Finely chop the yellow onion and add it to the bowl with the grated vegetables.

Step 3

Sprinkle some salt over the vegetables, mix well, and let sit for about 5 minutes. This will help draw out excess moisture.

Step 4

In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, black pepper, and ground cumin.

Step 5

Beat the egg in a small bowl and add it to the dry ingredients along with the milk. Stir until a smooth batter forms.

Step 6

Gently squeeze the grated vegetables to remove any excess liquid, then add them and the chopped parsley to the batter. Stir until thoroughly combined.

Step 7

Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat.

Step 8

Spoon about 2 tablespoons of batter for each fritter into the skillet, flattening gently with the back of the spoon.

Step 9

Cook the fritters for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy. Avoid overcrowding the pan and work in batches if necessary.

Step 10

Remove cooked fritters from the skillet and drain on paper towels to remove excess oil.

Step 11

Serve warm and enjoy your crispy vegetable fritters with your favorite dipping sauce.
