Equipment
- Frying pan
- grater
- Measuring cups
- Mixing bowl
- Paper towels
- spatula
- Wooden spoon
Ingredients
- 124 g zucchini grated
- 125 g potatoes grated, rinsed and well drained
- 50 g carrots grated
- 67 g green peas
- 250 g all-purpose flour
- 170 g plain non-dairy yogurt
- 60 ml canola oil
- 60 ml plain soy or other non-dairy milk
- ¼ teaspoon paprika
- ¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper
- Salt to taste
- Black pepper to taste
- Canola oil for frying
Instructions
- Squeeze as much moisture as possible from the grated zucchini and potatoes. Place the zucchini, potatoes, carrots, peas, flour, non-dairy yogurt, 60 ml canola oil, non-dairy milk, paprika, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper in a large mixing bowl. Stir until a thick, evenly combined batter forms.
- Heat approximately 6 mm of canola oil in a frying pan over medium-high heat. Divide the batter into 8 equal portions. Spoon several portions into the hot oil and gently flatten them into fritters without overcrowding the pan.
- Fry for 5 to 7 minutes until the undersides are crisp and golden brown. Carefully turn the fritters and cook for another 5 to 7 minutes until golden, crisp, and cooked through. Repeat with the remaining batter as necessary.
- Transfer the cooked fritters to paper towels to drain excess oil. Serve immediately while hot and crisp.
Notes & Wine Advice
Recipe Notes
Squeeze as much moisture as possible from the grated zucchini and potatoes before mixing the batter. This helps create beautifully crispy fritters. Cook the fritters in small batches so the oil stays hot and each fritter browns evenly. Serve with dairy-free yogurt, garlic aioli, sweet chili sauce, or your favorite dipping sauce. Leftover fritters become crispy again after a few minutes in the oven or air fryer.Wine Advice
A crisp Sauvignon Blanc complements the fresh vegetables and subtle spices perfectly. A dry Rosé is another refreshing pairing for these golden fritters.Nutrition values
