Ingredients

• 1 medium Zucchini
• 1 large Carrot
• 1 medium Red Bell Pepper
• 2 cups Cauliflower Florets
• 1 cup Chickpea Flour
• 3 tablespoons Cornstarch
• 1 teaspoon Baking Powder
• 1 teaspoon Garlic Powder
• 1 teaspoon Onion Powder
• 1 teaspoon Paprika
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Ground Black Pepper
• 1 cup Water
• 2 cups Vegetable Oil

Directions

Step 1

Wash all the vegetables thoroughly. Slice the zucchini and carrot into thin strips. Dice the red bell pepper into chunks and break the cauliflower into small florets.

Step 2

In a mixing bowl, combine chickpea flour, cornstarch, baking powder, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and ground black pepper. Mix until well combined.

Step 3

Slowly add water to the flour mixture, whisking continuously to form a smooth, thick batter. Adjust the consistency if needed by adding a little more water or chickpea flour.

Step 4

Heat the vegetable oil in a large, deep skillet or pan over medium-high heat to 350°F (175°C). To test if the oil is ready, drop a small amount of batter into the oil; if it sizzles and rises to the surface, it's ready.

Step 5

Dip each vegetable piece into the batter, ensuring it is fully coated. Allow any excess batter to drip off.

Step 6

Carefully place the coated vegetables into the hot oil, frying a few pieces at a time to avoid overcrowding. Fry for 3-4 minutes or until golden and crispy, turning once for even cooking.

Step 7

Use a slotted spoon to remove the crispy vegetables from the oil, placing them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.

Step 8

Repeat the process with the remaining vegetables, adjusting the heat as needed to maintain a steady fry.

Step 9

Serve the soy-free crispy fried vegetables hot, with your choice of dipping sauce, if desired.
