Ingredients

• 1 medium Zucchini
• 1 large Carrot
• 1 medium Red bell pepper
• 2 cups Broccoli florets
• 1 cup Chickpea flour
• 1 cup Rice flour
• 1 teaspoon Baking powder
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon Turmeric powder
• 0.25 teaspoon Cayenne pepper
• 1.5 cups Cold water
• 3 cups Vegetable oil

Directions

Step 1

Prepare the vegetables by cutting the zucchini into thin slices, the carrot into strips, the red bell pepper into slices, and separating the broccoli into bite-sized florets.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine chickpea flour, rice flour, baking powder, salt, ground black pepper, turmeric powder, and cayenne pepper.

Step 3

Gradually add cold water to the dry ingredients, whisking as you pour, until you achieve a smooth batter consistency. The batter should be thick enough to coat the back of a spoon.

Step 4

Heat the vegetable oil in a large frying pan or deep fryer to 350°F (175°C). To test the readiness of the oil, drop a bit of batter into the oil; if it bubbles and rises to the surface, the oil is ready.

Step 5

Working in batches, dip the prepared vegetables into the batter, ensuring they are fully coated.

Step 6

Carefully place the coated vegetables into the hot oil, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan.

Step 7

Fry each batch for 3-4 minutes or until golden brown and crispy, turning halfway through for even cooking.

Step 8

Use a slotted spoon to remove the fried vegetables from the oil and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.

Step 9

Serve the gluten-free crispy fried vegetables immediately with your choice of dipping sauce.
