Ingredients

• 200 grams cabbage
• 1 large carrot
• 1 medium zucchini
• 2 stalks green onion
• 60 grams coconut flour
• 40 grams tapioca flour
• 2 large eggs
• 120 milliliters coconut milk
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 3 tablespoons coconut oil

Directions

Step 1

Begin by preparing the vegetables. Thinly slice the cabbage, and julienne the carrot and zucchini into matchstick-sized pieces. Chop the green onions finely.

Step 2

In a large bowl, combine the sliced cabbage, julienned carrot, and zucchini. Add the chopped green onions to the mix.

Step 3

In a separate bowl, whisk together the coconut flour, tapioca flour, salt, and black pepper until fully combined.

Step 4

Add the eggs and coconut milk to the dry ingredients and mix until a smooth batter forms.

Step 5

Pour the batter over the vegetable mix and stir until all the vegetables are evenly coated.

Step 6

Heat coconut oil in a large frying pan over medium heat.

Step 7

Once the oil is hot, drop spoonfuls of the vegetable batter into the pan, flattening them slightly with the back of the spoon to form fritters.

Step 8

Fry the fritters in batches, cooking each side for about 3-4 minutes, or until they are golden brown and crispy.

Step 9

Once cooked, transfer the fritters to a plate lined with paper towels to remove any excess oil.

Step 10

Serve warm as a delightful paleo-friendly snack or side dish.
