Ingredients

• 2 medium Zucchini
• 2 medium Carrot
• 1 medium Red bell pepper
• 4 stalks Scallions
• 1 cup Chickpea flour
• 1 large Egg
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Cumin
• 0.25 cup Fresh parsley
• 0.25 cup Olive oil

Directions

Step 1

Grate the zucchinis and carrots using a box grater and transfer them to a clean kitchen towel. Squeeze out as much moisture as possible.

Step 2

Finely dice the red bell pepper and chop the scallions. Chop the fresh parsley as well.

Step 3

In a large bowl, combine the grated zucchini, grated carrots, diced red bell pepper, chopped scallions, and chopped parsley.

Step 4

Add the chickpea flour, egg, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and cumin to the vegetable mixture. Mix everything until well combined into a thick batter.

Step 5

Heat the olive oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat.

Step 6

Scoop heaping tablespoons of the vegetable mixture into the skillet and flatten them gently with the back of the spoon to form fritters.

Step 7

Cook the fritters for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and crispy.

Step 8

Transfer the cooked fritters to a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.

Step 9

Serve the fritters warm with your choice of dipping sauce or yogurt.
