• Customizable. Feel free to add your favorite veggies or any vegetables you have laying in your fridge that need to be used up
• Crazy delish! They're so good that you won't believe they are healthy and kids will love them too!

Ingredients to make Vegetable Fritters

• Vegetables, you can really use a mix of your favorite vegetables. Here I've used potatoes, zucchini, carrots and bell peppers. Some other veggies that would be great are grated broccoli, sweet potatoes, peas and corn. Just make sure to squeeze out the excess water from vegetables such as potatoes and zucchini 
• Herbs, I love adding fresh herbs for some freshness. Here I've used green onions along with parsley. Shallots or red onion can also be used along with fresh dill 
• Chickpea flour will help bing the mixture together and also has added protein and fiber and its also gluten free. You can also use all purpose flour 
• Egg is added to hold the mixture together as a binder. You can also make it an egg free version by using a flax egg made with flaxseed meal mixed with water as a replacement.
  Or add an extra  ¼ cup of the chickpea flour with some of the water that was squeezed out from the vegetables. Adjust to get the right texture 
• Garlic powder is my preference as it's milder rather than adding fresh garlic. You can also add other spices such as onion powder, smoked paprika and red pepper flakes if you like it spicy 
• Feta cheese is crumbled on top for a pop of saltiness which pairs so well with the mixed vegetables and also gives them a Mediterranean flavor. You can use a plant based feta cheese to keep them vegan and dairy free

How to make Vegetable Fritters

These Fritters will be your new obsession, they're easy to make and takes no time to come together. Here are my simple steps below.

Prepare mixture

1. Preheat oven to 200°C/400℉. Grate the zucchini and the potato, place in a bowl and leave on the side
2. Grate the carrot and finely chop the capsicum, green onions and parsley leaves and add to a large bowl
3. Squeeze the excess water out of the zucchini and potatoes
4. Add zucchini, egg, garlic powder, chickpea flour, salt and pepper and stir the mixture together. If the batter is too wet, add an extra ¼ cup of flour

Shape and bake

1. Place a sheet of parchment paper on a flat baking tray. Spoon a heaped tablespoon of the mixture and place into balls on the tray
2. Gently flatten them with your fingers to create a circle shape
3. Crumble over feta cheese and gently press them into the fritters. Spray the tops with olive oil spray and bake for 20 minutes
4. Allow fritters to rest on a cooling rack then enjoy!

Tips and Tricks

1. Squeeze out any excess water from the vegetables such as potatoes and zucchini after grating to prevent soggy fritters
2. If you find the mixture is too wet, add additional flour 
3. Try and make the fritters approximately the same size so that they cook evenly in the oven
4. When the feta cheese is crumbled on top, use your fingers to gently press them into the fritters so they don't fall off once cooked
5. If frying the fritters, use a non-stick pan or cast-iron skillet for easy flipping and to prevent sticking
6. To make them vegan vegetable fritters, use a plant based feta cheese and keep it egg-free by either replacing with a flax egg or adding extra chickpea flour with water - more information noted in the Ingredient section above

FAQs

Storage and Reheating

• Store any leftover fritters in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days
• You can also make a double batch and place in freezer bags and freeze for up to a month
• Reheat the fritters in the microwave, oven or air fryer for a few minutes until the've heated through. Personally I love eating them cold too!
