Vegetable Fritters

These are vegan, egg-free and gluten-free vegetable fritters!
Below you will find three possible ways to cook the fritters (in a pan, in a hot air fryer or in the oven).

Ingredients:

1 large zucchini
2 medium-sized (300 g) potatoes
1 medium-sized carrot
½ teaspoon garlic powder
½ teaspoon onion powder
½ teaspoon chili powder
½ teaspoon ground cumin
½ teaspoon ground paprika
½ teaspoon sea salt
Black pepper (to taste)
½ cup (50 g) chickpea flour

Directions:

1. Grate the zucchini, potatoes and carrots. Then, using cheesecloth or a clean kitchen towel, press out as much liquid as possible.
2. Add the vegetables to the pan and mix in all the spices. Cook the vegetables over low-medium heat with the lid on for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally; then turn off the heat.
3. Add the chickpea flour and mix with a spatula. Let the mixture cool until you can touch it.
4. Form the mixture into 6 patties with your hands. You can choose from the following three cooking methods:
Frying in a frying pan: Heat a little oil in a frying pan and place 3-4 patties in it. Fry on both sides until crispy (about 4-5 minutes per side).
Frying in a hot air fryer: Fry in a hot air fryer for 15 minutes at 195 °C (turn over after 10 minutes). We recommend spraying the hot air fryer basket with a little oil before placing the patties (otherwise the patties may burn).
Baking in the oven: Preheat the oven to 205°C and bake the patties on a baking sheet lined with baking paper for 35-40 minutes (turn over after 20-25 minutes). For a crispier crust, we recommend brushing the patties lightly with oil before baking (then brush the patties again when they are turned over).
5. Serve with your choice of sauce. Enjoy!
