Vegetable Egg Fritters Recipe

Ingredients:

• 2 medium zucchinis, grated
• 1 large carrot, grated
• 1 small red bell pepper, finely chopped
• 1 small onion, finely chopped
• 3 large eggs
• 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
• 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
• 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
• 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1/2 teaspoon paprika
• 1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped
• Olive oil for frying

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Vegetables:

1. Grate the zucchinis and carrots using a box grater or food processor.
2. Place the grated zucchini in a clean kitchen towel and squeeze out excess moisture.
3. In a large bowl, combine the grated zucchini, grated carrots, chopped red bell pepper, and chopped onion.

2. Make the Batter:

1. In a separate bowl, beat the eggs until well combined.
2. Add the flour, grated Parmesan cheese, baking powder, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika to the eggs. Mix until smooth.
3. Pour the egg mixture into the bowl with the vegetables and stir until well combined.
4. Fold in the chopped fresh parsley.

3. Cook the Fritters:

1. Heat a tablespoon of olive oil in a non-stick skillet or frying pan over medium heat.
2. Spoon about 1/4 cup of the vegetable mixture into the pan for each fritter, flattening them slightly with the back of the spoon.
3. Cook the fritters for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through.
4. Transfer the cooked fritters to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
5. Repeat with the remaining batter, adding more oil to the pan as needed.

4. Serve:

1. Serve the vegetable egg fritters hot, garnished with additional fresh parsley if desired.
2. They can be served as a side dish, appetizer, or main course.

Tips:

• For an extra touch, you can add some grated cheese (like cheddar or mozzarella) to the batter.
• These fritters can be made ahead of time and reheated in the oven or microwave.
• You can also serve them with a dipping sauce, such as sour cream, Greek yogurt, or a spicy mayo.
